This book is a gothic historical fiction thriller based on true crime.
The author has done remarkably well blending true crime with fiction. The writing is fast paced and well thought out. The main female character is one of the strongest depiction of a woman and mother I have read in recent times.
This book brings to light the age old question of ethics in the medical profession. While we all benefit from advancements in medicine, the question remains, what cost is too great to pay for said advancements.
A lot of unbelievably crazy stuff happens in the course of this book. I know that this book will stay with me for a very very long time.
Thankyou NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.
