A review by trusselltales
Theft of Life by Imogen Robertson

4.0

This fascinating crime novel sees the return of anatomist Crowther and his friend and investigative assistant Harriet Westerman. This time they are drawn into the case of a plantation and slave owner found dead in horrific circumstances in London. As the mystery unfolds the theme of slavery and its intrinsic role in British society is explored. A very harrowing read in places, eye opening at times, with the portrayal of characters refusing to shy away from unpleasant truths.
