Grave Importance
It’s 1870 in a rural setting on the outskirts of London. Famed surgeon Dr. Benedict Morrow hosts an elite few surgical trainees at the renowned Morrow Academy of Anatomy and Science.
Though the days of Burke and Hare are long gone, and body snatching and grave robbing a seemingly thing of the past, the supply of high-quality fresh cadavers is still lacking.
Each student of Dr. Morrow must procure a fresh corpse for their very own study, or face expulsion from the prestigious academy.
These hand-chosen students are the best and brightest in the country. They are also devious, conniving, and determined to do whatever they must to stay in the academy and under the tutelage of Dr. Morrow. Even turn against each other is necessary.
In the cards will be manipulation, murder, betrayal, sex, blackmail, and of course, money always talks.

I am not a big fan of anthologies because I like a story to flow. The authors who wrote this anthology did an amazing job of putting all the pieces together. Although each story was written by a different person the theme and setting remained the same, all centered around a particular medical school. The way this was put together gave the read an omniscient perspective into this cut throat world.

Surprising!!
Again, another book that I could not put down! So many twists, I just had to keep going to see what would happen next. I could never guess how each story would end!! Highly recommended!!!
