Book excerpt: THE FIRST LADY DARBY MYSTERY “A riveting debut…an original premise, an enigmatic heroine, and a compelling Highland setting…a book you won’t want to put down.”—New York Times bestselling author Deanna Raybourn Scotland, 1830. Following the death of her husband, Lady Darby has taken refuge at her sister’s estate, finding solace in her passion for painting. But when her hosts throw a house party for the cream of London society, Kiera is unable to hide from the ire of those who believe her to be as unnatural as her husband, an anatomist who used her artistic talents to suit his own macabre purposes. Kiera wants to put her past aside, but when one of the house guests is murdered, her brother-in-law asks her to utilize her knowledge of human anatomy to aid the insufferable Sebastian Gage—a fellow guest with some experience as an inquiry agent. While Gage is clearly more competent than she first assumed, Kiera isn’t about to let her guard down as accusations and rumors swirl. When Kiera and Gage’s search leads them to even more gruesome discoveries, a series of disturbing notes urges Lady Darby to give up the inquiry. But Kiera is determined to both protect her family and prove her innocence, even as she risks becoming the next victim…

But when a caretaker is murdered and a grave is disturbed at nearby Dryburgh Abbey, Kiera is once more thrust into the cold grasp of death. While Kiera knows that aiding in another inquiry will only further tarnish her reputation, her knowledge of anatomy could make the difference in solving the case. But agreeing to investigate means Kiera must deal with the complicated emotions aroused in her by inquiry agent Sebastian Gage. When Gage arrives, he reveals that the incident at the Abbey was not the first—some fiend is digging up old bones and holding them for ransom. Now Kiera and Gage must catch the grave robber and put the case to rest…before another victim winds up six feet under.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The nefarious practices of the murderers Burke and Hare were revealed on 2nd November 1828, with the discovery and identification of a woman's corpse in the cellar of Dr Robert Knox's School of Anatomy. Soon it was known that at least fifteen other persons has been similarly done to death. Rumours began to spread and broadsides were published to acquaint the public with all the lurid details. Henceforward Knox's name was to be inseparably linked with those of the murderers. People were in no mood to differentiate between the degrees of culpability of those involved in the scandal, and public opinion held him to be as guilty of murder as Burke and Hare who had smothered their victims withour remorse. In this book the author tells the complete life-story of Robert Knox; the years of success before 1828 and the tragic years that followed. Knox emerges as a dedicated scientist, a brilliant teacher of anatomy to whom nineteenth-century surgeons owed much; a man, probably genuinely unaware of the methods used by Burke and Hare, who found the Victorian world relentlessly unforgiving. Knox appears as a character in The Anatomist, a play by James Bridie, and in Dylan Thomas's film script The Doctor and the Devils, but neither Bridie nor Thomas shows him as the vivid character he was. Miss Rae, in seeking to vindicate him both as a man and as a doctor, has given us a sympathetic and highly readable study of one of the pioneers of modern medicine"--Jacket.
