Reviews
"Propulsive and lush, Fixsen weaves an exquisitely gothic tale that explores the power of a mother's love to transcend all things, even the grave. From the first to the very last page, this novel kept me riveted, needing to know that Isobel would prevail against all odds. Fans of Hester Fox and Paulette Kennedy will adore this one." -- Jess Armstrong, the USA Today bestselling author of The Curse of Penryth Hall

Synopsis
"An absorbing and expanding mystery... ripe for a bookclub discussion"-- First Clue "Propulsive and lush, Fixsen weaves an exquisitely gothic tale." -- Jess Armstrong, USA Today bestselling author of The Curse of Penryth Hall Walk carefully, lest you become a part of Dr. Burnett's collection... 1826. Isobel Tait finds herself, by chance, staring at a tiny human heart floating in a jar. It should be of little consequence; Dr. Burnett is renowned for his collection of oddities and medical specimens, and this, a juvenile heart with a damaged mitral valve, is not the strangest thing on display. Except that the condition is rare, and that Isobel's young son, who has been missing for months, suffered from the ailment. A phantom pulse beats in Isobel's ears. She knows something here isn't right. Missing persons cases are all too common in Edinburgh, where people simply vanish like mist. But Burnett is obsessed with his specimens - how far would he go to acquire a new one? Determined to investigate, Isobel joins his staff as the keeper of his collection. What she'll unearth, though, is far worse than any of her nightmares... Based on true crimes, The Specimen is a mesmerizing story about one woman's search for truth and vengeance in the darkest of places--where the deadliest secrets lie hidden in plain sight, on a freshly dusted shelf. " The Specimen is a fantastic read! Tense, gripping and full of fabulous characters you grow to love or hate! I devoured it in two sittings." - Gareth Brown, bestselling author of The Book of Doors, Walk carefully, lest you become a part of Dr. Burnett's collection... 1826.
