Welcome to the Medical Examiner's Mystery Reading Challenge for 2025! Your goal as Medical Examiner is to read murder mysteries and attach toe tags to the unfortunate victim(s).

Sep 21: Jjean (Texas) squeezes the Scarlet Sponge for slipping 400 toe tags on 400 stiff toes! Sep 19: Good thing the Gold Gurney has wheels, as it rolls back from JenneB to Tina Hilbert, for filling out the most toe tags (1655)!       Review previous challenges: 2019 • 2020 • 2021 • 2022 • 2023 • 2024

Chief Medical Examiner's journal Monday, September 29 : Jury listened patiently as Dr. Nancy went on. Ordinarily, her reports were like her no-nonsense, crisp suits: brief, staccato, atonal. Dismembered bodily parts were inspected and collected like shells. Martha Grimes, writing in The Old Silent, 1989.
