A vivid and gripping historical crime novel set in 19th century Edinburgh, cowritten by bestselling author Chris Brookmyre and consultant anaesthetist Dr Marisa Haetzman
Edinburgh, 1847. Will Raven is a medical student, apprenticing for the brilliant and renowned Dr Simpson. Sarah Fisher is Simpson’s housemaid, and has all of Raven’s intelligence but none of his privileges.
As bodies begin to appear across the Old Town, Raven and Sarah find themselves propelled headlong into the darkest shadows of Edinburgh’s underworld. And if either of them are to make it out alive, they will have to work
together to find out who’s responsible for the gruesome deaths.

This is such a interesting story, I love how much one gets to know and although I don't know how historically accurate it is I love it for it's storytelling and the way it empowers women.
