The Grave Tattoo

Product Information

The premise involves a story that I've always liked: Fletcher Christian and the mutiny on the Bounty. An intriguing, 200-year-old mystery propels this multilayered stand-alone from British author McDermid set in England's Lake District. Some of the favored subject matter Nico takes on include animal portraits, celebrity portraits, demons, skulls, statues and horror. Back in London, on the council estate where Jane lives, a local teenager that Jane has befriended is dealing with a heap of problems of her own, and despite Jane's attempts to help her before she leaves, Tenille finds herself in big trouble.

Although racial tensions always run high in Liffey’s world, the violent turn they take here causes him to question his faith in “the innate goodness of man.

The story opens in the village of Fellhead with the discovery of a body long buried in a bog, an event in itself so extraordinary that a forensic anthropologist with the euphonious name of River Wilde is swiftly dispatched to the scene. Scottish crime novelist McDermid once again proves herself the consummate storyteller in this clever blending of history, mystery, verse, and vice…against the backdrop of England’s idyllic Lake District, McDermid renders a supremely satisfying tale in which matters of heart and mind are entwined.The police are looking for Tenille and to add to Jane's problems, her ex-boyfriend, now Historical Document Dealer, is stalking Jane through the Lake District trying to get a lead on the important and valuable documents from Wordsworth that everyone believes exist. The McGuffin in this case is a putative lost epic poem by William Wordsworth, based on the story of Fletcher Christian (a Maryport lad, who went to school with Willie). All the characters were expertly crafted and their personalities and motivations came across as authentic. Wordsworth specialist Jane Gresham, herself a native of the Lake District, feels compelled to discover once and for all whether the manuscript ever existed - and whether it still exists today.

These 4 or 5-star reviews represent the opinions of the individuals who posted them and do not reflect the views of Etsy.This is one of those novels where the setting is the actually the premise for the story - but is also vividly rendered as the action unfolds.

Characters' movements and actions are poorly explained: no adequate reason is given for the fact that Jane is quickly accompanied on her sojourn by the colleague who is supposed to be filling in for her at the university, nor are we allowed to understand why her brother is such a jerk. When a tattooed body is found half preserved in the brackish water of a peat bog just outside of Fellhead, local Wordsworth scholar Jane Gresham jumps at the chance to investigate. Even if you stretch the bounds of credibility for artistic licence, he's arresting people on evidence so paper thin you could make a kite out of it.
