After establishing her reputation as one of London's most highly regarded undertakers, Violet Harper decided to take her practice to the wilds of the American West.

More About Stolen Remains
Believe it or not, I had fun reading this book, and I rate it 4 1/2 stars. There is a twist at the end I did not expect, and with the subject being death with the main character being a female undertaker, one would think that it would not be fun, but it was for me. Being an avid Anglophile, I climbed right into the Victorian setting... I had hoped this would be set in Colorado rather than England but still enjoyed this quite a bit. The mystery is well written, characters are very interesting, and the history is well researched. I can't quite put my finger on what I like about these books other than to say the overall package. The subject matter isn't what I'd generally... This book is neither suspenseful, nor is it well written. I had to skim through the last half and was bored through the end.
