Why Kings Confess<\/em>, Audiobook<\/a> (2014) C.S. Harris<\/a> narrated by Davina Porter (Sebastian St. Cyr #9)<\/p>\n

\"Why<\/a>Set in England in 1813<\/p>\n

Content warning: discussion of historical child abuse and imprisonment<\/p>\n

A contingent from France is rumored to be in London for peace talks, when the young doctor with the group is found brutally murdered–with his heart cut out and missing, and the woman found with him has no memory of the attack or why anyone would want to kill him.<\/p>\n

Gibson is starting to lose control of his addiction to Laudanum, and as Hero nears her due date, Sebastian becomes more and more worried about the impending birth and the danger to Hero.<\/p>\n

Sebastian’s worry about childbirth is accurate, and something those of us with access to modern medicine tend to take for granted, but women frequently died during or after childbirth–especially when attended by male physicians.<\/p>\n
