About this listen
EDINBURGH, 1853.
In a city of science, discovery can be deadly . . .
In a time of unprecedented scientific innovation, the public’s appetite for wonder has seen a resurgence of interest in mesmerism, spiritualism and other unexplained phenomena.
Dr Will Raven is wary of the shadowlands that lie between progress and quackery, but Sarah Fisher can’t afford to be so picky. Frustrated in her medical ambitions, she sees opportunity in a new therapeutic field not already closed off to women.
Raven has enough on his hands as it is. Body parts have been found at Surgeons Hall, and they’re not anatomy specimens. In a city still haunted by the crimes of Burke and Hare, he is tasked with heading off a scandal.
When further human remains are found, Raven is able to identify a prime suspect, and the hunt is on before he kills again. Unfortunately, the individual he seeks happens to be an accomplished actor, a man of a thousand faces and a renowned master of disguise.
With the lines between science and spectacle dangerously blurred, the stage is set for a grand and deadly illusion . . .

Every bit as good as the previous books.
This series of mysteries is one of my favourites. I always find the glimpses into the development of obstetric medicine in mid 19th century Edinburgh utterly fascinating, and the main characters are so well developed as to have the reader well and truly rivitted to their exploits.
The narrators do a marvellous job. Cathleen McCarron is, as always, outstanding, able to produce a distinctive voice for each character, both male and female, without ever sounding ridiculous (as many do). Her acting adds to the drama of the story without ever becoming overbearing.
