About this listen

Can the dead tell their stories? In the hands of a good forensic surgeon, they certainly can.

First published in 2010 in Malayalam as Oru Police Surgeonte Ormakkurippukal, this is the best-selling memoir of Kerala's most famous forensic surgeon, Dr. B. Umadathan.

Popularly known as the "Sherlock Holmes of Kerala", Dr. Umadathan revisits some of his strangest and most interesting cases, like the Chacko murder masterminded by Sukumara Kurup; the sensational Polakkulam case; and the baffling Panoor Soman case.

Chilling, shocking, and, at times, downright bizarre, Dead Men Tell Tales is unpauseable.

The thrilling experience

I love the way he narrates his experiences. It comes across quite visually, that I feel I am right there when they’re happening.

the content and all cases

great narration, story telling and all the cases are well narrated. the pinch personal journey along with adds more to it. waiting to listen more of Doctor's adventures. I felt that In many cases the verdicts were not declared which adds to disappointment, but may be they are pending and awaiting judgements.

Narration

Definitely not a page Turner. Slow in pace and can be listened once. Give it a pass if you find better titles.
