Plot was good though ( ) The Devil's Breath is the 3rd book in the Dr. Thomas Silkstone mystery series by Tessa Harris. The story was centered around The Great Fog of 1783.  Dr. Silkstone is an anatomist and scientist and when the fog hits he is tasked with figuring out why it's causing sickness and death throughout the English countryside. I didn't know a whole lot about the Great Fog before reading this book so I found the story highly interesting. There is murder, mayhem, science, deception and even a little romance. There was just a lot going on which is how I like my stories so it kept me entertained throughout. If you're familiar with the series, then you know that Lady Lydia can be very annoying and try your patience even at her best but in this story I thought she finally showed some redeeming qualities. I never even wanted to reach in the book and slap her this time so I thought that was huge progress. I'm hoping this was a turning point and she finally has it together from here on out. I will find out soon enough I'm sure as I plan on reading #4, The Lazarus Curse, very soon. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

A man staggers out of his cottage into the streets of Oxfordshire, shattering an otherwise peaceful evening with the terrible sight of his body shaking and heaving, eyes wild with horror. Many of the villagers believe the devil himself has entered Joseph Makepeace, the latest victim of a "great fog" that darkens the skies over England like a biblical plague.

A shroud of mystery surrounds Lydia's lost child, who may still be alive in a workhouse. A natural disaster fills the skies with smoke and ash, clogging the lungs of all who breathe it in. And the grisly details of a father's crime compel Dr. Silkstone to look for answers beyond his medical booksâ??between the devil and the deep blue Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
