Digging up bones

A Grave Matter by Anna Lee Huber

March 9, 2021 by Catticus Finch Leave a Comment

This is book three in the Lady Darby historical mystery series –  she is the widow of the anatomist/physician who forced her to paint the illustrations for his textbooks.  After the death of a long time friend in book two, Kiera has retreated to the home of her brother Trevor.  She is still rather emotionally fragile, feeling like society will never accept her again due to the notoriety of her scandalous work.  She is also still confused over feelings for Sebastian Gage, the inquiry agent […]

A rather Gothic mystery

The Anatomist's Wife by Anna Lee Huber

January 2, 2021 by Catticus Finch 9 Comments

“The scream froze me in my tracks, but the shout that followed propelled me out of my indecision and around the hedge line of the maze…Lady Godwin lay draped across a stone bench, her eyes stared sightlessly into the night sky and her mouth seemed frozen open on a scream.” “Death was not unfamiliar to me.  I had seen more than my fair share of corpses in my lifetime…so I hardly relished the appearance of yet another one, and in my sister’s garden no less.
