The Anatomist's Wife by Anna Lee Huber

4.0

I found this to be an excellent opener for a mystery series. Keira is a solid protagonist, with an interesting backstory and a solid reason to be invited into an investigation. The supporting players are fleshed our just enough to be interesting but not overshadowing, and they behave in generally believable ways. The mystery itself is twisty enough to keep you guessing but not confusing. There are a few quibbles—aside from the clothing descriptions, there really isn’t much to keep you in the era, and the fact that they’re in Scotland plays in very little; Keira has some moments of stereotypically feminine behavior that are particularly annoying because she so often isn’t that way—but for the most part, a solid story.
