Book Description
A dedicated doctor has set up a waiting mortuary on the borders of Kensal Green Cemetery, where corpses are left to decompose before burial to reassure clients that no-one can be buried alive. He collapses and dies, apparently of natural causes, but on the same night one of his most reliable employees goes mising. Frances Doughty, a young sleuth with a reputation for solving knotty cases, is engaged to find the missing man, but nothing is as it seems. Suspicions of blackmail, fraud and murder lead to a gruesome exhumation in the catacombs, with shocking results.
Editorial Reviews
Review
“[A] formidable Victorian historical . . . most readers will want to see more of Frances.” —Publishers Weekly on The Poisonous Seed
“. . . The pace moves along well and [Stratmann’s] dry wit that is expressed through conversation among the characters is most entertaining.” —
