The dead won't bother you if you don’t give them permission.

Boston, 1844.

Tabby has a peculiar gift: She can communicate with the recently departed. It makes her special, but it also makes her dangerous.

As an orphaned child, she fled with her sister, Alice, from their charlatan aunt Bellefonte, who wanted only to exploit Tabby's gift so she could profit from the recent craze for seances.

Now a young woman and tragically separated from Alice, Tabby works with her adopted father, Eli, the kind caretaker of a large Boston cemetery. When a series of macabre grave robberies begins to plague the city, Tabby is ensnared in a deadly plot by the perpetrators, known only as the "Resurrection Men".

In the end, Tabby's gift will either save both her and the cemetery - or bring about her own destruction.

Just finished my 4th listen and it was just as good as the first time. A must read for historical horror!

Favorite Hester Fox book to date

It was an entertaining read, and kept my interest up, but the sample was much more promising. The boy in the tree could have become a more important topic. But overall, it feels as if the abilities of the protagonist and other interesting topics were left mostly unexplored, and were used as plot devices for adventure.

Romance and adventure, but something missing

After a few chapters, it started to pick up. I liked the characters and the plot but for me my interest waned. It got interesting when all were gathered at the event. I don’t want to give it away.

A bit slow in the beginning

I have loved Hester Fox's writing voice since she released The Witch of Willow Hall. This book did not disappoint me. I loved the Boston atmosphere and the atmospheric vibes. If you like gothic novels definitely give her a try.

I would really give it 3 and 3/4 rating. Hester Fox had another book that I read, that I LOVED. This one didn't have that effect on me.

It was a good story

I enjoyed the story because it was very different. The Narrator was very stiff though and kind of jerky in her speech so that was constantly distracting. Her character voices were pretty good though. Overall it was a good book.

Interesting story
