The Difference Between Death and Murder submitted by ProQuestTag2012 on July 15, 2011, 1:37pm Don’t you hate it when your buddy steals a freshly buried body to expand his anatomy knowledge and hone his forensic examination skills, and then discovers that the person didn’t die of natural causes as publicly stated? So begins the sixth tale in the Sebastian St. Cyr series, set in 1812 London.

As aristocrat St. Cyr wrestles with solving a murder that he can’t acknowledge—as well as physically wrestles the post-autopsy corpse back into its grave before authorities discover it’s missing and arrest his friend!—another murder victim surfaces, international political intrigue is uncovered, and Sebastian’s wedding to a woman he’s not sure he likes, let alone loves, draws near. That she’s the strong-willed daughter of his powerful enemy, advisor to the prince regent, adds further complexity to the viscount’s life.

This book delivers tension-filled plots, engaging characters, and a historic backdrop so vividly presented that you almost feel as if you’re touring Regency England! What I like most about the St. Cyr series is that you feel satisfied at the end of every book, but each leaves mysteries to be solved in the next installment. I’m ready for number seven!

Nice submitted by valcline on August 4, 2011, 12:29pm Great historical mystery. Engaging and not so gore-filled as the more "modern" murder mysteries.

6th in series submitted by kathscot on August 11, 2020, 3:44pm Excellent. Harris is so immersed in the history of the period and ties her plots to actual events. A variety of interesting and believable characters. It makes the unlikely seem possible.
