Reviews
"Engelhaupt has a wonderfully unnerving knack for finding the questions everyone ponders but doesn't dare to ask out loud. Then, she answers them--scientifically, satisfyingly, and, often, humorously. From murderous meerkats to the secrets of earwax, Gory Details has, well, all the gory details your heart could desire. And though you might cringe or squirm as you go through them, you won't be able to put it down." -- Christie Wilcox, author of VENOMOUS: How the Earth's Deadliest Creatures Mastered Biochemistry
