Publisher Description

Imogen Robertson's skillfully constructed historical suspense novels featuring the forthright Mrs. Harriet Westerman and reclusive anatomist Gabriel Crowther continue to attract a growing readership. Set in late 18th-century England, Island of Bones follows the pair as Crowther reluctantly returns to his family estate. A centuries-old tomb has been unearthed, and an extra body found inside. The mystery is too much to keep Crowther away - but he knows that coming home means his chilling past will start catching up with him.

"Very good historical (somewhat romantic) mystery. Set in 1745, the plot also touches on events of 1723 and a plot to return the Pretender to the throne. Jacobites and such galore. This is the second of the series that I have read and I am enjoying the main characters very much."

Quotes

  • “First-rate prose and the deepening relationship between the two leads bode well for the longevity of this series.”

    — Publishers Weekly
  • “Set aside quality time to fully enjoy this richly layered, engaging historical series; a great suggestion for fans of Anne Perry, Charles Finch, and C.S. Harris.”

    — Library Journal
  • “An altogether satisfying historical mystery.”

    — Booklist
  • “[An] audacious mix of cultural gloss and uncomplicated, straight-ahead storytelling. The multi-layered nuance of Peter Ackroyd and the buttonholing narrative grasp of Stephen King are stirred into the mix.”

    — Independent (London)
  • “In the overcrowded field of historical fiction, Robertson has the smarts comfortably to outpace most of her rivals.”

    — Independent (London)

    " Very dense. Really like the two main characters and how the author includes interesting side stories. I read 1, 2, & 4 as ebooks but had to get this one sent from England. It was worth it. "

    " I enjoyed the beginning more than the end. I think it dragged on a bit too much for me and I had a hard time keeping track of what was going on and who the characters are. Maybe it was too complicated for my retired brain... "

    " This, the third in the series is by far the best!! Loved the returning characters and the new ones introduced in this book set in the lake district. I was able to picture the scenes having been there years ago. Hopefully, the author will have a new one for all of us soon. "
