Narrative In Favor Of Books The Bone Garden

Present day: Julia Hamill has made a horrifying discovery on the grounds of her new home in rural Massachusetts: a skull buried in the rocky soil–human, female, and, according to the trained eye of Boston medical examiner Maura Isles, scarred with the unmistakable marks of murder. But whoever this nameless woman was, and whatever befell her, is knowledge lost to another time. . . . Boston, 1830: In order to pay for his education, Norris Marshall, a talented but penniless student at Boston Medical College, has joined the ranks of local “resurrectionists”–those who plunder graveyards and harvest the dead for sale on the black market. Yet even this ghoulish commerce pales beside the shocking murder of a nurse found mutilated on the university hospital grounds. And when a distinguished doctor meets the same grisly fate, Norris finds that trafficking in the illicit cadaver trade has made him a prime suspect. To prove his innocence, Norris must track down the only witness to have glimpsed the killer: Rose Connolly, a beautiful seamstress from the Boston slums who fears she may be the next victim. Joined by a sardonic, keenly intelligent young man named Oliver Wendell Holmes, Norris and Rose comb the city–from its grim cemeteries and autopsy suites to its glittering mansions and centers of Brahmin power–on the trail of a maniacal fiend who lurks where least expected . . . and who waits for his next lethal opportunity.

Evaluate Of Books The Bone Garden

The Bone Garden is yet another example of Tess Gerritsen at her finest. It is the second standalone novel written by this author that I picked out after my experience of Playing with Fire from two years ago. While I am a big fan of the Rizzoli and Isles series, as I have emphasized in previous reviews as well as through either 4 or 5-star ratings, I am happy to tell you that the standalone books are equally good and acquaint the reader with a fairly different facet of Gerritsen's remarkable

At the heart of this story is a baby named Meggie, born to the beautiful but doomed Irish chambermaid named Aurnia. It's also about Aurnia's spirited 17-year-old sister, as well as about Norris Marshall, a poor farmers son who is attending medical school and supporting himself by working as a resurrectionist. Reading about medical practices from the 1830s was both fascinating and horrifying. I was completely unaware of the grave robbing practices during the 1800s, due to the need for cadavers

One of the best by Tess Gerritsen.

Yay new shelf! So this is what I'm gonna call a "kitchen sink" book. Meaning Ms. Tess Gerritsen decided to throw everything and the kitchen sink into this pretty average but well written mystery. We've got;1.)A modern day heroine going through a difficult divorce that is ENTIRELY the fault of her awful husband who's bought a fixer upper that of COURSE has a body in the backyard. Oh no!!!! How did that happen!? There's something weird going on around here!2.)And of course said body is a few

This was a great story about a lady who buys a house and discovers bones of a body that were long buried there. The book flops between past and present which is one of my favourite types of stories. The story in the past involves a historical medical mystery, that revolves around love and courage that draws together the present story. Definitely a 5 star!

At first, I was quite perplexed over the present day/historical split as the present day story seemed thin with the majority of the tale taking place in the 1830's. In the end, the story came full circle, providing that connection for the characters in both eras. I thought the details regarding medicine of the 1800's was fantastically gruesome and superbly done (and as many other reviews have stated, made me VERY happy to be a woman today!) with descriptions so rich your could almost smell the

I'm just going to C + P my one status update for this book because it sums up my feelings/thoughts:The weakest parts of the book are the modern day portions. The past portions are very well done. This book was a very mixed read for me.
