Book Review of The Grave Tattoo

The Grave Tattoo
reviewed on + 625 more book reviews


A slow read, but very worth spending the time. I admit I was a bit skeptical when I read about the book's premise - Did Fletcher Christian of "Mutiny on the Bounty" fame survive and return to England secretly to tell his story to poet William Wordsworth? But the characters are richly developed and believable, and suspense does finally mount in the last section of the book, when there are still several possible villains who might have been responsible for all the suspicious deaths. Recommended for those who enjoy literary mysteries.
