The Specimen by Jaima Fixsen

What do you do when you need to advance science... You make the science happen.

It's 1826 and Isobel Tate is not over her son being taken and when she goes to see a collection of specimens... she is drawn to the fact one is a heart with the exact defect her son had... She secures herself into the household of the doctor who has the heart and he is also the doctor that treated her son's heart condition.. Is it a coincidence or did something sinister happen to her son?

This book was great. I really enjoyed the narration. It had the best gothic vibes in a historical fiction setting and I was here all day for that.

The characters were great and this is loosely based on a true event so it made it even more exciting. The plot was awesome, a little slow but it was worth it.

4.5 stars
