What a fantastic story of dark and seedy Victoriana Edinburgh!
Rebecca Palmer seemed to have been picked as a wife by a respectable gentleman - what a wonderful position to be in. His work as pharmacist is respectable enough, however, things soon take a turn and into a twisted and lurid Edinburgh we go.
As Rebecca discovers more about the addiction that she has been drawn into, the pace of the book picks up and the dangers of her husband's work become evident. His obsession with becoming famous has to be stopped - is Rebecca the person to do it? Or is someone else able to stop him?
I absolutely loved this journey into an Edinburgh set in an era I am quite fanatical about. A brilliant concept and very well executed. Looking forward to more novels from this author!
