The Lazarus Curse
The Lazarus Curse | Tessa Harris
3 posts | 6 read | 4 to read
In 1780s London, American anatomist Dr. Thomas Silkstone is plunged into a swirling cauldron of sorcery, slavery, and cold-blooded murder . . . When the sole survivor of an ill-fated scientific expedition to Jamaica goes missing upon his return to London, Dr. Thomas Silkstone--entrusted with cataloging the expedition's New World specimens--feels compelled to investigate. There are rumors of a potion that has the power to raise the dead--and the formula is suspected to be in the private journal that has disappeared along with the young botanist. As Dr. Silkstone searches for clues to the man's whereabouts, he is drawn deeper into a dark and dangerous world of vengeance, infidelity, murder, and the trafficking of corpses for profit. Without the support of his beloved Lady Lydia Farrell--from whom he has been forcibly separated by law--he must confront the horrors of slavery, as well the very depths of human wickedness. And after a headless corpse is discovered, Dr. Silkstone begins to uncover the sinister motives of those in power who would stop at nothing to possess the Lazarus potion. . . Praise for The Dead Shall Not Rest "Outstanding. . .well-rounded characters, cleverly concealed evidence and an assured prose style point to a long run for this historical series." --Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Populated with real historical characters and admirably researched, Harris's novel features a complex and engrossing plot. A touch of romance makes this sophomore outing even more enticing. Savvy readers will also recall Hilary Mantel's The Giant, O'Brien." --Library Journal Praise for The Anatomist's Apprentice "Densely plotted. . . We await--indeed, demand--the sequel." --The New York Times Book Review "An absorbing debut. . . Harris has more than a few tricks up her sleeve and even veteran armchair puzzle solvers are likely to be surprised." --Publishers Weekly "Smart misdirection and time-period appropriate medical details make for a promising start to a new series. A strong choice for readers of Ariana Franklin and Caleb Carr." --Library Journal

This is the book from my TBR that reminds me of Easter with the connection of Lazarus and Jesus, and with Lazarus rising from the dead like Jesus.

Also reminded me of how many books I have on my TBR 😬🤷‍♂️😱 I feel another month long Readathon coming on later this year!

Clwojick Yes! 😂😂😂 so many unread books. I was going to do chunky books for next month. But I might just try to focus on my physical collection instead. 😅 12mo
Andrew65 @Clwojick Sounds a plan! 12mo

Andrew65 I like the sound of The Lazarus Curse and look forward to your review. 2y
kspenmoll @Andrew65 This is 4th in the series. I have found them fascinating because of all the newly emerging science/anatomy, opening up corpses for medical study,social issues. The books seem well researched. https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/tessa-harris/the-lazarus-curse/ 2y

Finshed Bookish People, which was a hoot, as well as an underlying tender tale of grief.
All the others I have read different required sections or just have not finished.
