Regency London: July 1812. How do you set about solving a murder no one can reveal has been committed? — That's the challenge confronting C.S. Harris's aristocratic soldier-turned-sleuth Sebastian St. Cyr when his friend, surgeon and "anatomist" Paul Gibson, illegally buys the cadaver of a young man. 6th book in the series. One of my favorite series. C.S. Harris‘ stories are fast-moving. Recommend to those who love history with political intrigue.

Andrew65 Great review. This one certainly had a lot of political intrigue! 3y
EadieB @Andrew65 Yes it was a great group read. Checked my records and found out the Blackhouse series by Peter May was our first Shelfari group read with our current group in Nov/Dec 2014. The next series we read was Dr. David Hunter by Simon Beckett. Jonetta started the group reads but she left Shelfari to go to Goodreads. Then you took over on Shelfari in 2014. 3y
Andrew65 @EadieB Miss Jonetta! How quickly time flies! 3y
EadieB @Andrew65 Yes! Those were the days with Jonetta! She is still going strong on Goodreads! 3y

Another excellent book in this series set in 1812 England. Sebastian is a great and tenacious investigator of crimes, and Hero had a big part in this book, and she is a great female protagonist! This was quite a complex plot! It took a lot to get my head around, unless it was because of tiredness. Looking forward to continuing this series.

Love how these characters just keep growing and developing. Never boring, always entertaining. And this one ends with a marriage...can't wait to see how THAT turns out! ❤ #romantsy #osrbc

“Lord love us, I need a drink,” said Calhoun, looking faintly green around the gills as he paused on the flagway in front of the chapel to draw in a deep breath of fresh air. “I‘ve dressed many a gentleman in my career—sober, drunk, and even dead. But I must say, this is the first time I‘ve ever been called upon to dress one who was in bits.”

robinb Is this from the St. Cyr series? 7y
atunah Yep, the 6th. Eyes were glued to my kindle, wow its intense. I adore the series. 7y
