In the 1830s, twelve-year-old Victor is an orphan in a cold and dangerous world. Death by disease and accidents are common. However, to Mr. Tipple and Mr. Biggs, a death of a child is a commodity that can fetch a high price. While a fresh specimen
can fetch an even higher price. Victor must uncover who is behind the
body snatching before it is too late. Will Victor be able to figure out
who the murderer is?
I originally picked up this book based on
the glossy black and red cover. I thought the novel was going to have a
stronger focus on "Resurrection Men" but, the novel seems to be more
about Victor's life. I thought it was interesting that the author
based a book on a historical occurrence that isn't well known (at least
to me). I would have enjoyed if they novel had included background
information on the historical topic. Overall, a decent book but, it left
me wanting more.
