At the dawn of the 19th century, a world gripped by the fervor of scientific discovery collides with the macabre. Amidst the backdrop of a society teetering on the edge of the modern age, a bacteriological researcher embarks on a compelling journey infused with both intellectual ambition and dark intrigue. The tension of the era is palpable, as the pursuit of knowledge intertwines with the shadows of morality, leaving the reader captivated by the dualities of progress and peril.
The protagonist finds herself navigating not only the laboratory but also the treacherous waters of humanity's darker instincts. As her investigations plunge deeper into the mysteries of life and death, she encounters enigmatic figures and unsettling secrets that threaten to upend her understanding of science and ethics. Each page reveals a richly woven tapestry of fear, hope, and the relentless quest for truth.
In this haunting narrative, Wendeberg crafts a tale that is as much about the evolution of thought as it is about the torments of the soul. The intricacies of science and the specter of malevolence form a delicate balance, drawing readers into a world where the line between genius and madness blurs, compelling them to ponder the lengths one will go to in the name of discovery.

I enjoyed this book and it was fast paced and I like the era. The interweaving of Sherlock Holmes was excellent. For some reason though I wasn't over-awed by it. I can't quite put my finger on why but perhaps because I was a little let down by the ending. I was half expecting more mystery and more twists and turns but they never came. Still, it was a really good read and I will probably read the next in the series.
