Summary
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.

Awful narration
Decent enough story but ruined by awful narration. The accents and the way the characters are played make it a difficult listen. Will stick to just reading the books from now on

Better as an audiobook than read from the book.
Napoleon Ryan's mastery of the various regional accents the author intended to use has made this audio book much more enjoyable to listen to than the book is to read. The book in no way follows actual Edinburgh street layout the author has several streets run the wrong direction and has moved several historical buildings to odd places. If you can accept that the authors Edinburgh depiction is a jumbled romanticized version littered with American phrases which would puzzle the very characters that utter them, this is a decent book.

The narrator ruined the whole story with his accents
It has been painful at times to hear him

Incredibly good
Thoroughly enjoyable and slightly different from the usual as you get to hear the Murderers thoughts here and there along the way.
Brilliantly narrated in terms of accents and written so well, that the plot carry’s you away!
Highly recommend and totally worth the credit!

Atmospheric book
It's a fantastic story of Victorian Edinburgh which also includes a really intricate and absorbing murder mystery. The characters are so real and the narration is fabulous.

Bit Long!
The Story was good up to a point, just felt it needed to be edited for length. By chapter sixty! I was gritting my teeth. The narration was quite good despite pronouncing "SCONE" like he was eating a very stale one on its own. The geography was a bit out, the author made Edinburgh appear it was built on a level plain. Two portly gentlemen running from Waverley Station and crossing George the IV bridge in a couple minutes! Up a close consisting of a steep flight of stairs to High Street and a slightly less climb to said bridge. Must been fit in them days! Got the Book 2 in Kindle before obtaining this, so hesitating whether to read it.

A good mystery spoiled slightly by vocabulary
A good mystery spoiled slightly by American vocabulary not authentic to the characters or Scotland.

Enjoyed the story but
Enjoyed the story but found the accents grating thought it sounded more like Brigadoon than Edinburgh.

very good but...
the book itself is very good I love the story setting and characters however the audiobook is not so good the accents are bloody awful, you will get used to them because of the story but you'll be glad to hear the back of them.
