Blurb

Leeds. April, 1824. Wealthy engineer Joseph Clark employs thief-taker Simon Westow to find the men who stole the buried corpse of Catherine Jordan, his employee's daughter.

Simon is stunned and horrified to realize there's a gang of body snatchers in Leeds. He needs to discover who bought Catherine's body and where it is now. As he hunts for answers, he learns that a number of corpses have vanished from graveyards in the town. Can Simon and his assistant Jane bring the brutal, violent Resurrection men who are selling the dead to medical schools to justice and give some peace to the bereft families?

My Opinion

The Dead Will Rise by Chris Nickson narrates an interesting tale of death mystery and death. Set in history, the plot revolves around narrow lanes and throws light on some dark corners of the society. The leading characters, Simon and Jane, intrigue us with their methods. The climax came as a surprise and it was really a fun reading the book. I would surely recommend the book for beginners of mystery and thriller genre.

Definitely, 4 stars for the book. Thanks to Random Things Tours and Netgalley for providing me with an opportunity to be a part of the blog tour.
