The Spendthrift and the Swallow | 
pick#coffeeandbooks
The widower of one of Dr Simpson's patients is distressed at the thought of an autopsy on his wife's body at the insistence of her father. Raven and Fisher get involved to prove that Dr S hadn't missed anything in his treatment.
A very slight tale that needed quite a bit of padding even to get up to novella length. It is based on a real case from the period but may be of interest only to those already invested in the series.
rwmg I read “The Spendthrift and the Swallow“ over lunch and still had time to read the first couple of pages of “Voices of the Dead“. 2w
