Perhaps I am simply a terribly nasty lass, but both the quantity and quality of murder bits did not assuage me. Personally, I enjoy more lengthy detailed death scenes. However, I still enjoyed the time I spent reading The Resurrectionist! We all certainly know of someone in our lives who fits the bill for looking and behaving (minus the murder) like Dale. Perhaps the "gift" of resurrection is the only thing separating a Dale from a Torres. 3.25 Stars. Would recommend!
