Synopsis

It was a crime scene Edgar Allan Poe himself could have conjured, only it was all too real: workers demolishing a nineteenth-century Greenwich Village brownstone where Poe once lived unearthed the skeleton of a young woman -- buried standing upright behind a brick wall. Manhattan Assistant D.A. Alexandra Cooper takes on the gruesome case while in pursuit of the Silk Stocking Rapist, who is terrorizing the Upper East Side. But Alex discovers that one crime thread leads to the other as she follows a trail of clues to the Bronx Botanical Gardens, where a group of Poe devotees may shed light on a stone-cold, modern-day murder of gothic proportions...and a cunning killer with a bone-chilling tale to tell.

She truly does describe a great New York meal though - pour me a Dewers. Hopefully the next one will b......more

Goodreads review by Susannah on December 18, 2015

Very good, very eyrie, and very atmospheric. Alex, Mike, and Mercer have their hands full between a skeleton found behind a brick wall in the basement of a house in which Edgar Allan Poe once lived, the return, after a hiatus of several years, of a serial killer, and other seemingly unrelated cases.......more

Goodreads review by Renee on October 13, 2017

Entombed was fascinating. Truly, wonderfully fascinating. Privilege, Poe and personal tragedies entwine in Alex Cooper's search for a long-dormant rapist as well as for the identity -- and murderer -- of a long-entombed corpse. At first the focus on Poe seemed like a distraction but, as is often the......more
