Review of 'Stiff' on 'Goodreads'

This was my first taste of Mary Roach's work, and I gotta say, I'm thrilled. I was delighted from start to finish, and Shelly Frasier's narration was a perfect choice, at once conveying both a gentle humor and quiet solemnity. I look forward to more from either woman, and preferably both.
