Edinburgh Midnight

Ian Hamilton Mysteries, Book 3

By: Carole Lawrence

Narrated by: Simon Mattacks

Superstition and murder haunt nineteenth-century Scotland in a twisting mystery by the prize-winning author of Edinburgh Twilight and Edinburgh Dusk.

Spiritualism has captured the public’s imagination. Séances are all the rage, and Detective Ian Hamilton’s otherwise sensible aunt Lillian is not immune to their allure. But for Ian, indulging her superstitions has its limits. When members of Lillian’s circle of séance friends begin turning up dead, Ian doesn’t need a medium to tell him these aren’t freak accidents.

With the help of his friend Arthur Conan Doyle, Ian investigates, and he is soon drawn into a dark world of believers and tricksters, and a puzzling series of murders with no pattern, no motive, and no end in sight. Most alarming, the crimes conjure up the ghosts of Ian’s own past, including the mysterious deaths of his parents, which have haunted him for years.

As two cases converge, science collides with the uncanny, and Ian must confront truths that are more disturbing than he could ever have imagined.

Dark Edinburgh

I have read the first three books of what I hope is a long series, and loved each one of them!

awesome now I gotta wait

the atmosphere in this series is thick & you can't put the book down tension builds. I see more romance in future & final resolution of parents death are on the table surely

Slow Moving

Yet another knock-off Sherlock Holmes tale, this is quite slow-moving. It doesn't violate any of the Holmes' conventions, but it certainly not a page-turner.

Narration is good.

loved it!!

All the books in this series kept me wanting more. i came upon them by accident and glad i did. i recommend everyone to listen or read them. i cannot wait for more!

Great historical fiction fun

I really enjoyed this book. The police procedural is interesting and probably accurate for the time period. Ms. Lawrence does a great job with the mystery. She reels you in right away with likeable characters plus the addition of Arthur Conan Doyle. Simon Mattacks is fantastic with the narration I highly recommend.
