Autor Louise Levene
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 iul 2012

Into this world steps Dora Strang, doctor's daughter and filing clerk to the country's pre-eminent pathologist, Alfred Kemble.

Recenzii

She writes with such energy and panache that I found myself screaming with laughter ... Her characters are a delight [and] she gets the period beautifully right, so that one is all the time aware of the serious intent behind all the gruesome fun
Deliciously dark
An energetic and witty yarn
A hilarious mix of first love and formaldehyde
A wicked, witty tale of villainy, scandal, sex and science set in London in the 20's
Bodies in trunks and on the mortuary slab,the whiff of formaldehyde, the gamey taint of illicit sex... Another fabulouslyunwholesome treat from the acid pen of Louise Levene
