3 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
March 1891: a group of mourners gather for a funeral in a small country churchyard in Worcestershire, but events do not go according to plan. An old friend invites Detective Inspector Ravenscroft to investigate, and before long the detective and his associate Constable Tom Crabb are embroiled in the dark world of the Upton Undertakers. Their long and dangerous investigation takes the duo across the country, from Temple in London, to the ancient Shropshire market of Ludlow, to a strange educational establishment near Bromyard. Ravenscroft eventually draws the case to a dramatic conclusion, only to find that fate has one last surprising trick to play. This is the seventh book in the thrilling Victorian Inspector Ravenscroft series.

At a funeral where a person in mourning believes the body in the coffin is still alive, the lid us opened and a new case begins for Insp. Ravenscroft. What follows is several murders, grave robbing and body dissections by an unscrupulous doctor. The mystery will keep you enthralled until the very last page and beyond with the postscript. Ye old Cheshire cheese in London also gets a mention which is where I am having a birthday drink next August.

For the #24in48 readathon, I decided to read books from my bookshelves that have sat, unread, for years. This one is part of the Inspector Ravenscroft series, which I have enjoyed in the past. Next up is Martha Grimes‘ Winds of Change.

The eighth installment in the Inspector Ravenscroft series. Some rather creepy characters in this one. Overall a good read. There's a definite formula to Tomb's stories, but I am reading them all back to back, so probably why it stands out.. But I've only two more to read..there are 3 more books, but I read #10 first.. It was Christmas themed
