Publisher Description

1929. A girl is strangled in a London alley, the corpse of a peeping Tom is found in a railway tunnel; and the gory details are updated hourly in the evening papers. Into this insalubrious world steps Dora Strang, a doctor's daughter with an unmaidenly passion for anatomy. Denied her own medical career, she begins life as filing clerk to the country's pre-eminent pathologist- and uncovers things she never could have imagined...

"I picked this book up randomly whle at the library. It was very amusing despite the gory descriptions of the work of a pathologist. I thought it was cleverly written & was very atmospheric of a foggy 1920's London. Will watch out for more of Loiuse Levene's writing."

    " Quite entertaining, and better than her last book. I'm impressed by how well she creates the sense of period and place. "

    " I love elements of her turn of phrase but the story made no sense and I cared less "

    " Ghastly Business was funny, bizarre and strangely compelling. I loved the era - London in the 1920's. "

    " A very strange book, sometimes funny, sometimes erotic and sometimes interesting. But mostly odd and left me not really caring what happened to Dora. Doubt that I will read another book by Louise Levene. "

    " An extraordinary book - flashes of 'laugh-out-loud' wit, elements of the most bizarre S&M (think mortuary's and pathologists), part historical romance/ social historical commentary/girl growing up - it is a bizarre, but somehow readable book, although too confused for me to read another. "
