The Coroner Daughter Andrew Hughes 9781781620212 Books

I thoroughly enjoyed this novel, from beginning to end. A nice mystery, good characters (if not particularly developed), and a good period piece.

I don't think there's enough DONE with the period, however, I could use a bit more color and 200 year old detail. I'm also not at all convinced people at the time used the speech patterns in this novel, which sound very modern... but what do I know. Finally, either the Kindle version is oddly missing some quotation marks, or the copy editing is terrible. Several quotes, seem to be missing starting quotation mark.... which can make for confusing reading st time.

Still definitely a page turner and definitely recommended.

Wonderfully written
Wonderful. Can't wait to see what he writes next.
A nice little book. Mot deep, complicted or intense. Something to pass time on an international flight.
A wonderfully enjoyable book. Nice plot and nicely written. I hope I have not heard the last of Abigail Lawless.
A truly wonderful novel with a great setting in last century Ireland. The story is original and fascinating with a lively and delightful main character.
In 2015 a strangely magnetic summary accompanying The Convictions of John Delahunt caught my attention and directed me into the expansive brooding atmosphere of punishing secrets, intricate metaphors and an overall impressive vintage flair with words that stayed in my mind and outside conversations for months. It was not only wonderful to find a distraction at that time from real life but a warped period puzzle all in a debut was quite something and I have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of Mr. Hughes latest mystery caper ever since. Overall I liked The Coroner's Daughter and fully admit the opening lines to this novel called to my (disturbing) dark sense of humor, honestly how can you not want to continue reading (or hold back a chuckle) when you first come across “For my eighteenth birthday, Father promised me the hand of a handsome young man, which he duly delivered mounted in a glass bell-jar.”

After that delightfully odd introduction, a familiar foreboding ambiance soon followed and era details kept my full attention. The urgency of the answers to the growing mystery were all nicely drawn out until the end as well but sadly like The Convictions of John Delahunt there were a few slips into modern sounding dialogue, contemporary expectations placed around the narrator and confusing spaces of action where I had to stop or reread to understand how a character arrived at a destination or where the narrator was in the chapter. It also seemed the beginning held the best passages and the final solution a little simpler than I had hoped but still this medical mystery/drama set in “the Year Without a Summer” with an inquisitive-natured narrator is one I would revisit again.
The book has a decidedly unusual opening but it sets the theme perfectly. This is the first time I`ve read this author so I have nothing else to compare this effort to. In all, it was an excellent piece of writing, the plot moved along very nicely and the characters were well developed. In all it is a very good read. It is one I will return to again as the winter sets in and daylight disappears at 1630 and it is a long, dark night.
