The Anatomist's Wife and Mortal Arts

3/5. Historical romance mysteries about a young scandalous* widow and a taciturn detective. I wanted to rate these lower for having clumsily obvious mysteries and paint-by-numbers romance, but I did pick up the second one even through my annoyance, so can I really judge? Also, yes, these are definitely workmanlike at best, but they suffer particularly in comparison to Sherry Thomas's Lady Sherlock books, which I did read recently. So go there first, is what I'm saying.

*Points for a somewhat creative source of scandal, though -- she is considered "unnatural" for (unwillingly) assisting her deceased husband in his dissection work.

Content notes: Violence, murder, institutionalization.
