In the first in a stunning mystery series set in eighteenth-century England, Tessa Harris introduces Dr. Thomas Silkstone, anatomist and pioneering forensic detective.

The death of Lord Edward Crick has unleashed a torrent of gossip through the seedy taverns and elegant ballrooms of Oxfordshire. Few mourn the dissolute young manâ??except his sister, the beautiful Lady Lydia Farrell. When her husband comes under suspicion of murder, she seeks expert help from Dr. Thomas Silkstone, a young anatomist from Philadelphia.

Thomas arrived in England to study under its foremost surgeon, where his unconventional methods only add to his outsider status. Against his better judgment, he agrees to examine Lord Edward's corpse. But it is not only the dead but also the living to whom he must apply the keen blade of his intellect. And the deeper the doctor's investigations go, the greater the risk that he will be consigned to the ranks of the corpses he studies.… (mais)

disappointing. I liked the premise and enjoyed the forensic aspects. Author gave sufficient twist but I did not like the characters.nor the "harlequin romance like" bits. A doe eyed heroine for instance. ( )

Gripping narration and a mind-blowing twist.

T.H. ci impiega un bel po’ a colorare di giallo il suo libro, poi, verso la fine, il giallo prevale.


Continuando a sbuffare fumo dalla pipa, si mise a estrarre il fegato, simile a una lumaca annidata nel ventre e per nulla disposta a rivelargli i suoi segreti. Ma lui era capace di leggerlo come se fosse il diario personale del defunto, …

5 Star Book! Great Mystery With Many Twists And Turns. ( )

An interesting characterization of a doctor in 1780 England. When a man dies under suspicious circumstances, the doctor is called in to perform an autopsy and determine just what those circumstances were in very much an 18th-century CSI-ish way.

Plot: 4. Well thought out and makes sense. The doctor's analysis of the various tissues of the murdered man is spelled out in loving detail, and makes for some fascinating writing.

Execution: 5. The flow of the book is neat and sensible. While the vast majority of the book is written from Dr. Silkstone's perspective, a few other characters get a turn as well, and those sections further the plot nicely. There's an unfortunate section where an important clue is handed to the doctor by a young boy for no apparent reason.

Character Development: 3. I'll withhold judgement on the doctor, who apparently gets several books to himself. Most of the other characters aren't really fleshed out - a village apothecary, a grieving sister, a man who likes eating a bit too much. A notable exception is the murdered man's richly drawn brother-in-law, who by turns demonstrates arrogant pride, love for his wife, and violent and drunken behavior.

Scenes: 2. Fairly solid in the first half of the book, but feels like the editor lost interest in the second half and let a lot of poor word selection in.

Puzzle: 5. Keeps you guessing until the end, and almost past the end as, just when we feel the case is all wrapped up, a surprise twist turns the plot on its head. ( )

...the author seems not to know when she’s onto a good thing, and proceeds to gum up the fascinating details of early forensics with a sticky romance and Grand ­Guignol contrivances. Nonetheless, we await — indeed, demand — the sequel.
