About this listen
Her daughter is dying...and a killer with a fetish for body parts stalks London.
As Detective Sergeant Jamie Brooke copes with the daily pain of watching her daughter suffer through her last days, she is assigned to a macabre murder case. The mutilated body of a young heiress is found within the London Royal College of Surgeons surrounded by medical specimen jars.
An antique Anatomical Venus figurine is discovered beside the body, and Jamie enlists the help of British Museum researcher Blake Daniel to look into its past.
When personal tragedy strikes, Jamie has nothing left to lose, and she must race against time to stop the mysterious Lyceum before they claim another victim.
As Jamie and Blake delve into a macabre world of grave robbery, body modification, and the genetic engineering of monsters, they must fight to keep their sanity - and their lives.

Yes, anyone with an interest in human nature, or at least the darker side as well as murder mysteries will thoroughly enjoy this book.Who was your favorite character and why?
Blake. he brings a different viewpoint on solving crimes due to his unusual skills....What does Rosalind Ashford bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Rosalind did a fantastic job of narration throughout the story, the underlying emotions of the characters comes across really well. The setting also feels interactive when narrated by someone who is "there".Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The first scene of the hospice.Any additional comments?
A enjoyably dark yet deeply disturbing murder mystery. This is the first of the genre I have read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The tension builds up throughout the story whilst at the same time delving deeper into dark a gritty world of inhuman nature. I highly recommend Desecration to anyone with a passion for disturbing murder mysteries. The story unfolds perfectly bringing the morals of human nature into question. At the same time giving glimpses into the minds of those who commit acts of depravity or immorality and the underlying reasons behind their actions. I was shocked at times throughout the story and that kept me intrigued to find out how dark the novel goes...A enjoyably dark yet deeply disturbing read.

Unerving and brilliant.

It starts well, which makes the middle and end unforgivable. From a start where I engaged with the protagonist the book rapidly sinks into an effort to shock, missing its aim by a mile. An attempt at eroticism also bombs.
Don't waste your time on this folks, I've had more depth of emotion from a cornflakes packet. I rarely review a book and only do so now to save other readers wasting their time.
So bad it's funny.
