A review by crudelise
The Anatomist's Wife by Anna Lee Huber
3.0
This got three Stars because the murder mystery was exciting, though the ending of said mystery was very poorly done.
The novel itself though...
Well if not for the constant references of "the beautiful scotland" and the weird accent that only the host and his wife only somtimes had, i would have had no idea it was set in scotland.
The 18 century was not believable because even as she was a widow (and not that naive) the gentleman could not have gotten away with that many that open references to bedding women.
The main love interest was disgusting and absolutely a creep and not trustworthy at all. I would have thought him the murderer if not the murderer was obviously even more creepy at a certain point (and the duke too...) but that was both forgotten as soon as it happened.
The heroine acted mostly incredibly stupid. which annoyed me immensly. as she is supposed to be not naive.
The murderer was mostly. obvious but still quite exciting to read. also all the prejudices were nicely done i think.
