First Cut by Judy Melinek, M.D.; T.J. Mitchell

Dr. Jessie Teska is new to San Francisco but not new to her job as medical examiner.  She is smart and down to earth, has a very vocal and kind of destructive dog, a murky family history and a very curious nature that just might lead her into trouble.

Something about one of her first cases in her new department feels off and the more she pursues it, the worse it feels. When someone close to the case takes an interest, things quickly spiral in their own direction, leaving Jessie to follow along as her case becomes entangled in other recent cases.

This book feels like the beginning of a series.  I get essence of early Kay Scarpetta and early Temperence Brennan in here.  There is just the right mix of professional story line with a sprinkle of her human side, her dog her brother, her dates and even a smattering of her past.

A solid read. 

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the e-ARC in exchange for my honest review.
