Edinburgh. This city will bleed you dry.

Dr Will Raven is a man seldom shocked by human remains, but even he is disturbed by the contents of a package washed up at the Port of Leith. Stranger still, a man Raven has long detested is pleading for his help to escape the hangman.

Back in the townhouse of Dr James Simpson, Sarah Fisher has set her sights on learning to practise medicine. Almost everyone seems intent on dissuading her from this ambition, but when word reaches her that a woman has recently obtained a medical degree despite her gender, Sarah decides to seek her out.

Raven's efforts to prove his former adversary's innocence are failing, and he desperately needs Sarah's help. Putting their feelings for one another aside, their investigations take them to both extremes of Edinburgh's social divide, where they discover that wealth and status cannot alter a fate written in the blood.

Another excellent story and a pleasure to listen to - both narrators did a great job, much better female narration than the first two books.

I loved this book and hope the series carries on- I’m pretty sure it will since Raven and Sarah’s story is still not finished. The weaving of fact and fiction gives the book(s) real depth and adds to the interest the reader develops in all the characters and situations. The characters are so well drawn, the events so believable despite many being fictional. The pace of the book is just right, every page holds interest and importance. Incredibly well narrated by the 2 narrators and having the voices of Raven and Sarah as a man and a woman just adds to the credibility of the story.

Another great book in the series

Another thoroughly enjoyable Victorian thriller with a credible setting and excellently convoluted storyline. With a team like Ambrose Parry, what can go wrong? Highly recommended but please, authors and editors, learn the difference between appraise and apprise!
