About this listen

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.

good

I listened to this a second time tonight. I liked it. I honestly didn't remember it from the cover, but iy came back to me once I started. For whatever reason, I really like British mysteries set in this time period. I don't know why. This was a pretty good example of the genre. The Scottish setting was interesting, too. It doesn't always have to be London! The identity politics added another layer to the story.
The mystery was alright. I don't want to call it a bit thin, but... it was a bit thin. I liked it, it was plotted well, but there wasn't all that much going on we never really did get a motive, and there were a fair amount of loose ends. But it did keep my interest.
The characters were likable and well-drawn. I particularly enjoyed the young street urchin. The protagonist was three-dimensional enough, with an interesting enough back story, to make the reader hope for a series.
I'm going to check out the next books.
