Not your usual Victorian Crime mystery. Nine new born babies were discovered buried in flowerpots. Their deaths came under the durisdiction of the Coroner. The same Coroner that was being thrashed by a whore prior to her becoming his assistant and wife. Subsequently, what occurs in the matrimonial bed is described in great detail. While the investigation of the crime is not that inspiring the court case and storyline itself is very good.
