About this listen

"CSI meets the Age of Reason with a well-drawn, intriguing cast of characters" (Karen Harper) in Tessa Harris' superbly plotted historical mystery series, featuring 18th-century anatomist and pioneering sleuth Dr. Thomas Silkstone.

In the notorious mental hospital known as Bedlam, Dr. Thomas Silkstone seeks out a patient with whom he is on intimate terms. But he is unprepared for the state in which he finds Lady Lydia Farrell. Shocked into action, Thomas vows to help free Lydia by appealing to the custodian of her affairs, Mr. Nicholas Lupton.

But when Silkstone arrives at the Boughton Estate to speak to Lupton, he finds that sweeping changes threaten to leave many villagers destitute. After a man dies in the woods, it appears that someone has turned to murder to avenge their cause. But for Thomas, a postmortem raises more questions than answers, and a second murder warns him of his potentially fatal situation. Soon he discovers a conspiracy far more sinister than anything he has ever faced.

Editing was subpar

The mixing was very annoying with the re recorded edits glaringly obvious. I forced myself to listen to the end but frankly will not continue the series further.

Ridiculous historical soap opera

After building the character of Lidia as a self confident woman that have seen through Malthus conniving ways, all of a sudden she believes in him and turns away from the doctor. That’s very cheap plotting.

Shame on you Harris.

Very unsatisfying

The whole book gave me no satisfaction what so ever , even the so called redemption or resolution at the end was pfff…just left me angry …the whole series what just a “ let’s see how we can make reader angry. Protagonist is always late, distracted with side stories, Lydia is left to be this weak character , who I wish just died in bedlam…no satisfaction. Author just wants you to buy the next book, in hopes that we might actually see the bad guys get their just desserts
