A fantastic novel. I loved the intercutting through time, though it confused me occasionally. I loved the hints of real history with hygience and Holmes (who I don't think I've ever heard of before) and 'resurrectionists' - it's not the name I'm use to, but I know of them more from the less refined time of John Hunter. I was particularly pleased by the identity of the murderer. Not the obvious suspect, of course. And I want to know more about the Rosicrucians.
