This is set when most people had a horror of having their loved ones autopsied, even though future doctors need to learn human anatomy. That's why resurrection men stole corpses from their graves and sold them to doctors. Paul had wanted Alexander Ross' body because he had been told the young man had died of heart failure in his sleep. There was nothing wrong with Mr. Ross' heart. He was murdered.
By now, St. Cyr's strange 'hobby' of investigating murders is so well known in London that just asking about Alexander Ross has people wondering if that blameless young man from the foreign office was murdered. Mr. Ross' superior is most displeased.
Another subplot is the continuation of Miss Hero Jarvis learning that her request to know what sex was like before she died back when she and St. Cyr faced certain death, has left her pregnant. She's never wanted to be married, but doesn't want to leave her mentally fragile mother alone while she travels to far off places and comes back claiming her child is a foundling she adopted. Therefore, she accepts St. Cyr's offer of marriage, which will save her honor. Her mother is thrilled.
It's going to be a small and quick wedding: in-person invitations and arrangements take up part of the book. Lord Jarvis, Hero's ruthless father, is the political rival of St. Cyr's supposed father, the Earl. Worse, Lord Jarvis and St. Cyr are enemies. Both have the good of the United Kingdom at heart and are loyal citizens. The problem is that Lord Jarvis will not stop at having persons he considers a threat to that kingdom and its House of Hanover murdered. St. Cyr is passionate about obtaining justice for murder victims. Hero will have to learn to balance her loyalty to the main men in her life. (On the other hand, Hero can convey what she has learned from each -- with their permission -- to the other.)
We meet some interesting characters and another victim murdered in the same way as Ross. The second victim causes a bit of a problem for St. Cyr and Paul because Bow Street Magistrate Sir Henry Lovejoy wants Alexander Ross' body exhumed.
Actual historical events are involved in this mystery, one of which is the possibility of war with the Americans over the British navy stealing American sailors from Americcan ships -- and the American's desire to take over Canada.
There will be more murders before everything is solved in time for Sebastian and Hero to wed. This is not a soothing book to listen to for someone who wishes to be lulled to sleep, but it does help pass the time entertainingly if one is having trouble sleeping.… (mehr)
