Edinburgh Dusk

Ian Hamilton Mysteries, Book 2

By: Carole Lawrence

Narrated by: Simon Mattacks

The prize-winning author of Edinburgh Twilight returns to the darkening shadows of nineteenth-century Scotland to track a killer on a profane mission of revenge.

A wicked Scottish winter has just begun when pioneering female physician Sophia Jex-Blake calls on Detective Inspector Ian Hamilton to investigate the suspicious death of one of her patients - a railroad lineman who she believes succumbed to the horrific effects of arsenic poisoning. The most provocative aspect of the case doesn’t escape Hamilton: the married victim’s numerous sexual transgressions.

Now, for the first time since the unexplained fire that killed his parents, Hamilton enters the Royal Infirmary to gain the insights of brilliant medical student Arthur Conan Doyle. Then a second poisoning occurs - this time, a prominent banker who died in the bed of a prostitute. It appears that someone is making Edinburgh’s more promiscuous citizens pay for their sins.

As the body count rises and public panic takes hold, Hamilton and Doyle delve into the seedy underbelly of the city, where nothing is as it seems, no one is immune to murder, and even trusted friends can be enemies in disguise.

Changed narrators

I did not Like that they change the narrator from the 1st book. The new narrator read the characters completely different. The story was good but I had a very difficult time with the change. As Already Had an outlook on the characters Which changed with the new narrator. it's a good book but you can't do a series and flame the voices each book

lots of fun...

This was an enjoyable me. In addition to they strong character of detected in Hamilton it adds in some good historical characters of the day. I enjoyed It

I am not a fan of crime novels but I am a definite fan of this series!

Everything about this audible is wonderful. From the suspenseful and introspective writing to the narrator who does Scottish accents justice. This book is pleasure to immerse yourself in from the very first word uttered until the last. I can’t wait for the next book! Ms. Lawrence please gie oan wi' it.

I liked the accents of the characters.

I liked the book and all the characters and how life like they were as the story was read to me by Audible.
