A vivid and gripping historical crime novel set in 19th-century Edinburgh, cowritten by best-selling author Chris Brookmyre and consultant anaesthetist Dr. Marisa Haetzman

Edinburgh, 1847. Will Raven is a medical student, apprenticing for the brilliant and renowned Dr Simpson. Sarah Fisher is Simpson’s housemaid and has all of Raven’s intelligence, but none of his privileges. As bodies begin to appear across the Old Town, Raven and Sarah find themselves propelled headlong into the darkest shadows of Edinburgh’s underworld. And if either of them are to make it out alive, they will have to work together to find out who’s responsible for the gruesome deaths.

This story was a bit slow in starting but I ended up thinking it was one of the best books I’ve ever ‘read’. Main characters are relatable and smart, and come up with a genius solution to a unique problem. An 1847 problem but re-emerging now, 175 years later. I will be recommending this book.

Great storytelling!

Engaging

A great thriller, some parts where I knew it wasn’t what it seemed but could not figure out the truth until the author revealed it. Some gore that left my mouth agape.

Interesting characters but I thought guessable. But the ending …I just had to ask myself Why?

I thoroughly enjoyed this audio book. The reading was absolutely perfect.
At times the story seems very slow, but be sure to pay attention to all the details, it culminates beautifully towards the end.
I can't wait to listen to more.

Hooked!

If I had known this was mostly about abortion, I would not have purchased it. It seems there is a mandate now to publish books with this topic.I thought it was a detective story.Ugh.

So tired of this subject in modern fiction
