"The Corpse Had A Familiar Face" is Pulitzer Prize winning author Edna Buchanan's autobiography recounting her 18 years as a reporter working the police beat for the Miami Herald. I've read the first two books in her Britt Montero mystery series and reading this book gives me a hint as to where she got the ideas for her fictional mysteries.
Buchanan's autobiography is a fascinating read by itself -- as good as any novel. One of the keys to her reporting was in the details -- details that bring victims to life and help them be remembered. She also has a great sense of humor.
I look forward to reading the rest of her fictional books, too, and just ordered the third Britt Montero mystery delivered to my Kindle. pazt
