The Coroner's Daughter

The only child of Dublin’s coroner, eighteen-year-old Abigail Lawless has been raised among the books and instruments of her father’s grim profession. She is also inquisitive, resourceful and headstrong. So when the young nursemaid of a pious household is found dead only days after killing her own child, Abigail is compelled to investigate. Drawn into a dark and increasingly dangerous world of hypocrisy and deceit, Abigail attracts the attention of one who watches, and waits ... perhaps to kill again?
