review 1: This book was a two_edged thriller. It was repulsive and grotesque, however, I could not stop reading it....even though I wanted to. It was well written, but if very descriptive torture is not for you...you might want to skip it. You do get to like the main characters ( the good guys of course). Well written, but definitely not for the squeamish. Discovered it by accident...though it was a regency type, as was the apothecary a daughter and anatomist's apprentice. Needless to say...a slight shock as I got into it. If you like psychological thrillers, and are not squeamish, this is a possibility.
review 2: Tyler West is an investigative reporter currently on suspension from his paper following an expose with some erroneous facts. His editor assigns him to cov... moreer the opening of a Museum of Torture and while there ends up covering a murder of the Mayor killed in the Iron Maiden, one of the displays. The editor takes his story and assigns it to another reporter, but Tyler continues to probe into the murder on his own time. When several other high profile celebrities also turn up dead and attributed to accidents or random events, Tyler tries to convince the Police that they are connected and caused by variety torture of devices and are the work of a serial killer. The chase becomes more involved as Tyler tries to find some concrete evidence to point to the killer, he is slick and Tyler is unsuccessful. Things come to a head when Tyler’s girlfriend is kidnapped by the killer in an attempt to get Tyler to write more articles about the killer. Good pace, characters and all around good read. less
