L'Art de mourir
2019 • 384 pages

Raven has returned to Edinburgh a Dr in is own right, an occupation Sarah can only dream of. However, she has a surprising new role and it seems their fledgling relationship from book 1 must come to naught. Working together, under Dr Simpson's roof, they once again must work together to find a killer. This time the good name of their employer is at risk alongside the population of Edinburgh and perhaps even themselves!
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, the main characters were fleshed out and interesting new ones were introduced. There were twists, turns and false clues aplenty all written intelligently and grippingly. The viewpoints change and the first person narratives are particularly chilling.

Once again Parry (Brookmyre and Dr Haetzman) has seamlessly integrated historical facts with fiction to create a terrifyingly believable tale. Good to see women are still pushing the boundaries (well, good for them but not always good for everyone else).

That's the next one out so I can't wait to find out where Sarah and Raven find themselves now!
