The Bone Garden - Tess Gerritsen

a historical context. I assume that most of what has been put in the story regarding practises when dealing with corpses and dealing with pregnant women is accurate - Tess Gerritsen, the author herself is a doctor and anthropologist, so this in itself was fascinating.

In the present day, Julia Hammill uncovers the remains of a young woman whilst ...
