Description

The Coroner's Daughter by Andrew Hughes In 1816, Dublin was gripped by turmoil as a rare climatic event brought frost to July and a lingering fog cast a pall over the city. Amidst this unrest, a young nursemaid concealed a pregnancy and then murdered her newborn, sparking rumours about the child's father. When Abigail Lawless, the daughter of Dublin's coroner, stumbles upon a message from the maid's seducer, she becomes embroiled in a world of hidden meanings and deceit. As Abigail delves deeper into the mystery, she must navigate the restrictions placed on her as an only child raised amidst the grim profession of her father. Determined and resourceful, she pursues an increasingly dangerous investigation that leads her through dissection rooms, dead houses, Gothic churches, and elegant ballrooms. A sinister figure watches from the shadows, waiting to strike again. With its atmospheric setting and intricate plot, The Coroner's Daughter is a gripping tale of suspense and intrigue.
