It's 1881. 8 years have passed since Grace and Lucius Everly were punished for their crimes against humanity, yet Evergreen House is still not clean of their sins. In The Surgeon's House, sequel to The Small Museum, Maddie's sister, Rebecca, remains uneasy. Mysterious deaths, the unwelcome presence of Grace's husband, Edward Threlfall, and consistent intrusions from members of the authorities force Rebecca to question the stability of the life she has created.
Thwarted at every turn, caught between society's patriarchal gaze and the Victorian era's obsession with science and morality, it appears as though Rebecca must relinquish all that she has worked towards. How can she protect the lives of the women and children, to whom she has promised safety, when it feels as though the very walls breathe their secrets and betray her trust?
