The Anatomist’s Wife<\/a><\/em> (2012) Anna Lee Huber<\/p>\n

\"The-Anatomists-Wife\"<\/a>Set in Scotland in August 1830<\/p>\n

Lady Darby has spent the last year and a half hiding in Scotland with her sister and brother-in-law, after the death of her husband and the scandal that arose following that.<\/p>\n

I quite like the relationship between Lady Darby and her sister. It’s a very true feeling sibling relationship.<\/p>\n

I awoke the next morning to find Alana hovering over me, a frown pleating her brow. \u201cOh, thank goodness,\u201d she exclaimed. \u201cYou\u2019re awake.\u201d <\/p>\n

I hadn\u2019t been, but I suspected my sister had been standing there for quite some time and very well knew that.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The other main character is Gage, who is the son of a famous inquiry agent, and when a murder occurs, Gage steps up to look into the matter. Unfortunately for Lady Darby, the scandal that has followed her to remote Scotland becomes an issue, and because of her past, she is asked to assist in part of the inquiry.<\/p>\n

I realized we could have waited until dawn to examine Lady Godwin\u2019s body. She would stay fresh enough in the chapel cellar. But I had decided it would be better to have the task over and done with. Procrastinating was not going to make it any easier, and I knew I would never get any sleep that night regardless.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There is much to like about this story.<\/p>\n

It was a terrible thing to know you wielded the power to harm someone just with the knowledge of what rested on your tongue.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Although it was slow in places, the mystery was good as was the unfolding of Lady Darby’s past.
