The Anatomist's Wife

The Anatomist's Wife - Anna Lee Huber

Not a bad first-in-a-series book at all. They mystery was pretty well done, and I was fully engaged in the story most of the time.

I would have probably given it four stars, except that something bothered me about the heroine, Lady Darby. I can't quite place my finger on what, though. Perhaps the first person perspective was part of it, though it's not something that normally bothers me. I don't know, I guess a lot of the time I found her inner dialogue to be quite frustrating. And some of the choices she made verged on TSTL territory. Overall, though, I found her backstory (which is actually quite interesting and sad), as well as the Sebastian Gage character intriguing enough to want to continue on with the series.
