Our Lady of Mysterious Ailments by T. L. Huchu is the second spellbinding audiobook in the Edinburgh Nights series.

‘Stupendously engaging’ – Ben Aaronovitch, bestselling author of Rivers of London

Some secrets are meant to stay buried

When Ropa Moyo discovered an occult underground library, she expected great things. She’s really into Edinburgh’s secret societies – but turns out they are less into her. So instead of getting paid to work magic, she’s had to accept a crummy unpaid internship. And her with bills to pay and a pet fox to feed.

Then her friend Priya offers her a job on the side. Priya works at Our Lady of Mysterious Maladies, a very specialized hospital, where a new illness is resisting magical and medical remedies alike. The first patient was a teenage boy, Max Wu, and his healers are baffled. If Ropa can solve the case, she might earn as she learns – and impress her mentor, Sir Callander.

Her sleuthing will lead her to a lost fortune, an avenging spirit and a secret buried deep in Scotland’s past. But how are they connected? Lives are at stake and Ropa is running out of time.

Critic reviews

Tendai’s alternative Edinburgh becomes more real and more exciting with every book. An artful combination of magic, history and imagination wrapped up in an engaging story (Ben Aaronovitch)
The Library of the Dead’s alluring, shadowy Edinburgh with its hints of sophisticated academic magic will draw you in, but it’s Ropa – a hard knocks ghostalker on her paranormal grind to pay the rent – who grabs hold. The moment you meet her, you’ll follow wherever she goes (Olivie Blake, author of The Atlas Six on The Library of the Dead)
A fast-moving and entertaining tale, beautifully written (Ben Aaronovitch, bestselling author of Rivers of London on The Library of the Dead)
An absolute delight . . . kept me totally hooked (Genevieve Cogman on The Library of the Dead)
What a delight. Great pacing, wonderfully creepy villains, and so much fun! (A. K. Larkwood on The Library of the Dead)

Really enjoyed this book

This was a much better narration than book 1, the change of narrator worked. There are parts of the book where I feel the story is going nowhere and I get bored, but it all comes together in the end and I’m wanting to move onto book 3 to hear out the whole series.

Interesting story, better narration

This is the second of the Edinburgh Nights series and though it could be read alone, I’d advise reading/listening to them in order to get the most of this thrilling tale.

The alternate timeline and practicality of magic in this series make them quite unusual, possibly unique, and a joy to immerse yourself in.

A brilliant series

Although this could be read as a stand alone book, the link that runs between book one and two is strong. a great story that has you gripped from the first to the last.

A great story, very well narrated.

An incredible follow-up to Library of the Dead, with just as much energy and life. The picture of Scotland - ravaged by poverty and magic, bursting with hope and rage - is such a perfect background to Ropa’s story. I gobbled this up, and I’m already hungry for the next one

Brilliant, touching, funny and wise
