Excellent historical murder mystery.
Dr. Julia Lewis is a rarity in Victorian London — a lady physician. It is 1866 and the city is in the midst of a terrible cholera epidemic. Meanwhile, a killer is targeting his victims in a seamy part of town. Inspector Richard Tennant of Scotland Yard finds himself needing Julia’s medical services as he attends the crime scenes.
I found this to be extremely well researched and very interesting with all of the historical details of that time period. I love mysteries with a medical bent and with a strong female protagonist. I really liked the characters of Dr. Julia and Inspector Tennant and hope to see more of their exploits working together in the next installment of this series. The plot was clever and kept me guessing.
I listened to the audiobook and the narrator had a strong British accent as expected which was quite appropriate for this novel.
Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington for the audio download to listen to, review, and recommend.
This is the first in a new series featuring Dr. Julia Lewis.
