This time, we’re reading Written In Bone: Hidden Stories in what We Leave Behind by forensic anthropologist Sue Black and author of the 2018 Sunday Times bestseller All That Remains. Black discusses criminal and historical cases from her own career, showing how everything we do – from what we eat to where we go – leaves behind traces in our skeleton.

Find out what we thought about the book, whether you should read it, and hear from Black herself as she talks about her favourite bone and why mortuaries are the funniest place in the world.
