4.0 out of 5 stars A really excellent read 31 Oct 2012
By Brightonearly
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I wasn't sure about trying this book as it's not the usual thing I read, but I would thoroughly recommend it. The plot holds weaves the themes together tightly, the main characters are well drawn and sympathetic, and it's generally "a good read". The well researched background details (backed up by an interesting note by the author at the end of the book) was the strength that set this book apart for me though. The writer really managed to create a flavour of the time, skilfully mixing fiction with fact. It made me want to read more about the period. It also made me want to read more of her books, which I will be doing!

5.0 out of 5 stars Engaging and entertaining - and begging for more 18 Oct 2012
By Michele Fry VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The Anatomy of Death Felicity Young has created two very engaging, three-dimensional leading characters in the shape of Dr Dody McCleland and Inspector Matthew Pike. Additionally, the setting of the inter-bellum period is rich with interest, given the changes which were taking place at that time, particularly concerning women's roles and their work outside the home. McCleland's younger sister was a less interesting character, and some of the suffragettes irritated me, although I'm quite sure that they were 'true to life' as Young has done an excellent job of historical research for this book. I'm told she has more in the series planned, and I (for one) await their arrival with eagerness.

5.0 out of 5 stars riveting read 27 Mar 2013
By yokel
Format:Paperback
Having read all Felicity Young's previous books, I approached this one cautiously as it was so different. A good author is one who can write books that people read. An excellent author is one who can completely switch themes and styles and write such a well researched book that is an enthralling read which can't be put down. Very much look forward to her next book in this series.
