Following the death of her husband, Lady Darby has taken refuge at her sister's estate, finding solace in her passion for painting. But when one of the house guests is murdered, her brother-in-law asks her to aid the insufferable Sebastian Gage - a fellow guest with some experience as an inquiry agent.

Resumen del Editor
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 man - 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.
Tessa Harris, born in Lincolnshire, holds a history degree from Oxford University, and after four years of working with local newspapers she set her sights on women’s magazines. She is regularly heard on local BBC radio and over the years has interviewed such people as Margaret Thatcher, Jeffrey Archer, Anthony Hopkins, Susan Hampshire, Alan Titchmarsh, Jackie Stewart, Boris Johnson, and Uri Geller. She lives in Berkshire with her husband and their two children.

With "pitch-perfect writing" (USA Today), Brooks follows March as he leaves behind his family to aid the Union cause in the Civil War. His experiences will utterly change his marriage and challenge his most ardently held beliefs.

Great Period Mystery
I loved the mystery and medicine in this book but the female love interest was very bland. She mainly batted her big doe-eyes and waited to be rescued.

Probably worth a credit
Decent book. The story was well thought out and it moved but it wasn't great. Having listened to a lot of mysterys based in London, this one was a little different because of the time period - late 1700s.
Vance does a good narration, four starts for him.

Enjoyed the twists and turns. Wish Lydia had been a stronger character to compliment the character of Dr. Silkstone. Look forward to the next book.

Beginning of Forensic Science
For those of us that are interested in forensics and the science behind it, this will be an interesting listen, albeit a bit gruesome. Dr. Thomas Silkstone, an accomplished surgeon is studying under a well-know, but now blind doctor and anatomist who had pioneered in the field of forensic science. With specimens in jars and bottles, preserved for future use, the two work, side by side, researching and dissecting newly dead bodies, learning more and more about what caused them to die. Grave robbers bring them corpses for a few coins (a common practice, it seems). This tale is about the death of Lord Edward Crick, a young man from a wealthy family, whose death the coroner quickly ruled a suicide. However, his sister, Lady Lydia Farrell doesn’t believe her brother killed himself. True, the man was a card-playing, womanizing fool, that no one in particular mourned . . . except for his sister, but suicide? Not willing to let his death go without further investigation, Lady Lydia enlists Dr. Silkstone’s help to uncover the truth . . . leading to the arrest of Lady Lydia’s husband for the murder of his brother-in-law. Things get stranger and stranger from there. A pile of secrets lies hidden in the wealthy family’s closets, and none of them pretty. Dr. Silkstone and his blind mentor continue to conduct a myriad of experiments of the decomposing body of Lord Edward Crick attempting to discover if he was poisoned, but the trial of Lady Lydia draws closer and closer. I never suspected who the murderer was, and there were so many twists and turns that it made my head spin. Very good period mystery, with excellent forensic and medical tidbits!

Boring
I tortured myself to listen to this book nothing was happening it plodded along. Simon Vance was the only redeeming point.

Interesting New Author
First series that was not Hercule or Sherlock. Fun so far. Dr Thomas is great.

Great but one glaring anachronism
Germ theory - or the idea that gut “bacteria” existed and cause decomposition inside out -was not a thing in the 1780s. This is a major anachronism in this otherwise delightful novel.

O, the melodrama. ..
To say more would involve spoilers . Let's just say that soap operas have nothing on this plot!
