Historical fiction meets CSI in this thriller. A female forensic doctor (egads! Aren't women just good for staying at home and raising children? At least that's what they thought back then. She would have been considered to be a witch) is hired to determine who is killing children in Cambridge.

There are many characters in this book, but it is easy to keep them all straight. There is a splash of romance to go along with the science.

Warning: Many dead children. Much detail. Gore galore. A few whacked out characters.

But an entertaining read. And the first in a series.
