I literally read this novel in one day because I could not put it down. I loved it and can not wait for the next book in the series! Hopefully the wait wont be too long! Detective Inspector Ian Hamilton aided by Detective Sergeant Dickerson along with a few other interesting characters are on the hunt for the "Holyrood Strangler" a serial killer that is stalking the streets of 19th century Edinburgh. Edinburgh is made up of New Town, a wealthy enclave of easy-living residents and Old Town where the poor, downtrodden and criminal element live and this story encompasses both in such a well written way that you can almost reach out and touch it. The story is told from various points of view, from the killer, victims, and from the Inspector which adds to the immersive layers throughout and also encompasses some back story as well as the hunt for the serial killer. The characters are portrayed in such a way that makes them believable and human. If you are interested in historical mysteries and the development of police ideas and procedures, this is your new favourite book of 2017!! An amazing start to a series and I will definitely read more as the series continues. Congratulations Carole Lawrence on a perfect debut novel. 1881, Edinburgh and Stephen Wycherly walks up Athur's Seat to meet his blackmailer, not knowing he will never return. On examining the the body Detective Inspector Hamilton determines he has been murdered, and so the hunt is on for the Holyrood Strangler, aided by Detective Sergeant Dickerson. A well-written mystery with good developed characters. An excellent start to a new series which I look forward to reading. A NetGalley Book geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Ian Hamilton (1)
"As a new century approaches, Edinburgh is a city divided. The wealthy residents of New Town live in comfort, while Old Town's cobblestone streets are clotted with criminals, prostitution, and poverty. Detective Inspector Ian Hamilton is no stranger to Edinburgh's darkest crimes. Scarred by the mysterious fire that killed his parents, he faces his toughest case yet when a young man is found strangled in Holyrood Park. With little evidence aside from a strange playing card found on the body, Hamilton engages the help of his aunt, a gifted photographer, and George Pearson, a librarian with a shared interest in the criminal mind. But the body count is rising. As newspapers spin tales of the "Holyrood Strangler," panic sets in across the city. And with each victim, the murderer is getting closer to Hamilton, the one man who dares to stop him."--Amazon.com. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

The only part I didn’t like was the strangler getting off on the thought of killing another victim. Too much detail for me. ( )
