1873: Just what does the small museum really contain?
The Small Museum
What you need to know before your trail
Madeleine Brewster’s marriage to Dr Lucius Everley should have been the answer to her family’s prayers. Lucius is a well-respected collector of natural curiosities – his ‘Small Museum’ is his life’s work, although firmly kept under lock and key. His sister Grace’s philanthropic work with fallen women also adds to the Everleys’ polished reputation.
However, Maddie begins to suspect that unimaginable horrors lie behind their respectable façade. Then she is framed for a shocking crime that would take her to the gallows. Her only hope is her friend Caroline who must prove Maddie’s innocence before the trial reaches its fatal conclusion.
Travel Guide
The Small Museum
A fictional museum but full of dark, gothic objects!
It was inspired by the very real Hunterian Museum in London. It’s a place of anatomical specimens in London, located in the building of the Royal College of Surgeons.
It could also be on a par with the Clink museum or the police museum with all manner of awful objects. This is a chilling gothic tale with a touch of the macabre.
Charmouth
Not as famous as Lyme Regis for the discovery of fossils but here, the author has chosen Charmouth as the place of discovery and mystery.
