Publisher's Summary:
1856, London: The specimen-collecting craze is growing, and discoveries in far-off jungles are reshaping the known world. When the glamorous Lady Bessingham is found murdered, surrounded by her vast collection of fossils and tribal masks, Professor Adolphus Hatton and his morgue assistant Albert Roumande are called in to examine the crime scene - and the body.
In the new and suspicious world of forensics, Hatton and Roumande are the best. But the crime scene is not confined to one room. In their efforts to help the infamous Scotland Yard detective Inspector Adams track down the Lady's killer, Hatton and Roumande uncover a trail of murders connected to a packet of seditious letters that, if published, would change the face of society and religion irrevocably.

Dr. G and CSI Meet....? That's the Problem
The premise (and promise) of Devoured and a recommendation from one of my favorite authors, Matthew Pearl, was all I needed to give this book a try. Unfortunately, it didn;t meet my expectations but, hey, 3 stars isn't that bad. What I mean in the title of this review is while the characters of Hatton and Roumande were interesting and sympathetic, I don;t know that the author could decide what the rest of the book should be. Too many characters and misdirection became a bit of a jumble. The letters from Borneo were enthralling and if they gave clues to the evil that lurks in the heart of men they did not give enough clue as to what kind of evil. The supposed importance of Wallace in the book - even featured on the author's website - played no significant role whatsoever. The themes of "dirty cops," human trafficking, and others were very intriguing but came too late to rescue my impression of the whole book. I will say this: the last 1/3 of the book was VERY STRONG and I will definitely and happily give #2 - "The Devil's Ribbon" - a try based on this strength.
And can I add: I LOVE my Kindle Fire while reading historical fiction. Part of the fun is the 19th century vocabulary and being able to use the Kindle's dictionary feature or a quick flip to the web on my fire while reading to look up a word or idiom is awesome! Well done, amazon!

A Dark and Disturbing Tale
I'm a huge fan of Victorian mysteries. I read all of Anne Perry's books.
I enjoyed this very dark and complex tale which delves into the issues the 19th Century struggled with regarding the evolution of man. As well as a look at child labor and police practices of the day. There is also a fascinating introduction to early forensics here.

You will devour this book......
This book was grisly, and a vampire novel. It was also a race against time, to get a precious family member saved. I loved it. It was creepy, but I liked the engrossing story, and mystery. It was very well written.....
