Mistress of the Art of Death by Ariana Franklin was a good read!
OK, I have to admit that I was attracted to the book originally because “Mistress” is in the title! But, then plot sounded interesting and worth a try.
Turns out it is a historical novel, whose main character is a woman. She has the medical background and for the time was an expert. She was CSI team AND the coroner/pathologist. Because of the time period they had to hide that SHE was the medical expert!
Also, I LOVE the early scene . . . SHE uses sounds to open up the PRIOR so he can urinate! OMG, it was perfect.
