Summary
For years, A.J. Hewitt was the first person into a crime scene. Before the detectives and the forensics team it was her alone with the body, the only sound her flashes firing as they lit up scenes of unimaginable horror. It was her job to shoot the photographs that revealed the circumstances of someone's final moments.
Now in her debut book, The Darkroom, Hewitt takes us into the shadowy world of the crime scene photographer, and recounts remarkable tales, from murders to suicides, accidents to assassinations.
In the tradition of Unnatural Causes, When the Dogs Don't Bark and All That Remains, this is a true crime book full of the wisdom that can be found in the darkness.

An excellent look at forensic photography through the eyes of a specialist
This book is a fascinating diary of the multitude of deaths, assaults, fatal accidents and other situations needing a police photographer. Each victim is spoken about with respect and dignity, and AJ Hewitt herself opens up about the horrors and PTSD she encountered while on the job. Perfect background information for crime writers or lovers of true crime documentaries. Every chapter had me gripped.

Exceptional , insightful....an unsung hero.
Being close to the author in age and from a unique time in the 20th century for career woman who began breaking barriers in a still ongoing male dominated arena and being completely drawn in to this amazing journey, I have the deepest respect for the sacrifices made and pain endured. Thanks for sharing you.

A good listen with a few laboured points
overall very enjoyable and interesting, however, early in the book it was clear that every chapter would include one or more of these three points - a justification of the job role itself, the importance of having a woman in the role or a comment about being 'the only female in the room' these points were repeated so often and in so many ways that it became repetitive and boring, dulling the impact of the message considerably and reducing the enjoyment of the book as a whole.
