This is a delightfully odd and appropriately creepy book. I did have a lot of questions about the ending, given how vague it is, and Schwartz has been a bit mysterious in regards to whether that means there will be a sequel or not. While there’s a supernatural twist that I didn’t see coming as part of the Big Reveal, it’s done in a way that feels plausible. I liked the story overall, and I like how it starts off establishing what Hazel and Jack want, and then seeing them dive into the chaos with all the death going on. But Jack doesn’t have much to define him beyond his admittedly cool occupation and his interest in Hazel, and the latter was the only reason I felt any fear at tense moments when he was in jeopardy. I did like Hazel…I admire her determination to succeed in a profession that has barred women, as well as her compassion when she sees things that disturb her, which ultimately becomes an asset, even if it doesn’t seem to be the case at first. I was swept up in the atmosphere, and then sucked into the sometimes wacky sequence of events.Ĭharacters may be the weakest point of the book. But given the way this one progresses, that comparison does feel a bit less apt in retrospect.ĭana Schwartz conveys the setting of 19th century Scotland and the Gothic/mystery vibes beautifully. Upon reading the blurb, and hearing an author I follow describe the initial setup, I thought it felt a bit reminiscent of the Kerri Maniscalco Jack the Ripper series, as the leads of that one are also in the medical field and they also wind up solving mysteries with odd twists. All opinions are my own.Īnatomy: A Love Story is odd…but in a good way. I received an ARC from the publisher and am voluntarily posting a review. Now, Hazel and Jack must work together to uncover the secrets buried not just in unmarked graves, but in the very heart of Edinburgh society. Lucky that she’s made the acquaintance of someone who digs them up for a living, then.īut Jack has his own problems: strange men have been seen skulking around cemeteries, his friends are disappearing off the streets, and the dreaded Roman Fever, which wiped out thousands a few years ago, is back with a vengeance.

Beecham: if she can pass the medical examination on her own, Beecham will allow her to continue her medical career. Beecham’s lectures for being the wrong gender, she realizes that her new acquaintance might be more helpful than she first thought. But after she gets kicked out of renowned surgeon Dr. When the two of them have a chance encounter outside the Edinburgh Anatomist’s Society, Hazel thinks nothing of it at first.
