Summary

Imogen Robertson's skillfully constructed historical suspense novels featuring the forthright Mrs. Harriet Westerman and reclusive anatomist Gabriel Crowther continue to attract a growing readership. Set in late 18th-century England, Island of Bones follows the pair as Crowther reluctantly returns to his family estate. A centuries-old tomb has been unearthed, and an extra body found inside. The mystery is too much to keep Crowther away - but he knows that coming home means his chilling past will start catching up with him.

Editorial Reviews

“An altogether satisfying historical mystery.” —Booklist

“[An] audacious mix of cultural gloss and uncomplicated, straight-ahead storytelling. The multi-layered nuance of Peter Ackroyd and the buttonholing narrative grasp of Stephen King are stirred into the mix.” —Independent (London)

“In the overcrowded field of historical fiction, Robertson has the smarts comfortably to outpace most of her rivals.” —Independent (London)

“First-rate prose and the deepening relationship between the two leads bode well for the longevity of this series.” —Publishers Weekly

“Set aside quality time to fully enjoy this richly layered, engaging historical series; a great suggestion for fans of Anne Perry, Charles Finch, and C.S. Harris.” —Library Journal
