The Way of All Flesh

The tagline on the cover reads : Edinburgh. 1847. City of Medicine. Money. Murder. That's all the information I need to know I'll enjoy this book.
Women have been murdered.
An unlikely duo join together to solve the crimes.
The back alleys of Edinburgh are alive with menace.
New medical discoveries are being made and embraced by young doctors and ignored by the old guard.
This is the first in a series by Ambrose Parry (Chris Brookmyre and Marisa Haetzman). The time and place are so well evoked, I look forward to the next one.
