A Danish magazine writer does a feature story on Crime Scene Cleaners, which leads him to a book deal to write more about a business called Crime Scene Cleaners based out of San Francisco, California. For the most part, I liked the book and found it interesting reading. What turned me off of this book was the narrator / author's diversions into other things. For example, he inexplicably writes about visiting a cryonics facility and comparing them to a cult group; this is a topic that only tangentially is related to death and not at all to crime scene clean-up. He also goes on for five or six chapters about a case he refers to as the Bathtub Man, which was just too long. Another reviewer wrote that it seemed like he was just throwing anything in to get to the minimum word count or page number and it surely feels like that. I liked this book, just wished the author would stay on topic.

This was such a good book. However if you are on the squemish side its probably not for you. The author went to work for a company that cleans up crime scenes and then writes about his experience. I loved the book.
This book is very well written, the author has a very dry sick sense of humor, this book is probably not for everyone, but if you enjoy a good giggle, cringe and tear all from teh same place..well this is the book for you!
