SHORTLISTED FOR THE McILVANNEY PRIZE 2020

Edinburgh, 1849. Despite being at the forefront of modern medicine, hordes of patients are dying all across the city, with doctors finding their remedies powerless. But it is not just the deaths that dismay the esteemed Dr James Simpson – a whispering campaign seeks to blame him for the death of a patient in suspicious circumstances.

Simpson’s protégé Will Raven and former housemaid Sarah Fisher are determined to clear their patron’s name. But with Raven battling against the dark side of his own nature, and Sarah endeavouring to expand her own medical knowledge beyond what society deems acceptable for a woman, the pair struggle to understand the cause of the deaths.

Will and Sarah must unite and plunge into Edinburgh’s deadliest streets to clear Simpson’s name. But soon they discover that the true cause of these deaths has evaded suspicion purely because it is so unthinkable.

Reseñas de la crítica

"Gleeful, romping . . . The fog and stench of Edinburgh’s Old Town definitely jump off the page . . . The central relationship between loveable rogue Raven and proto-feminist Fisher is the beating heart of The Art of Dying. Both characters are drawn with real empathy and nuance, and their complicated feelings for each other drive the book as much as the smart storylines. A great piece of storytelling"
"Full of twists and turns – a great read"
"A gripping Victorian thriller"
"Dark and visceral, gritty and charming, with a twisting plot and compelling characters – not least, Victorian Edinburgh at her deadliest. The immersive world of Ambrose Parry just gets better and better" (JESS KIDD)
"The central characters and their relationship are the book's strengths . . . worth a read – the characters and setting are wonderful"
"A menacing tale of murder amid the medical experiments of mid-19th century Edinburgh"
"Offers more of the alluring combination of crime fiction and historical fact seen in last year’s The Way of All Flesh . . . The reader may need a tiny dose of chloroform to relax after all of these thrills. . . For any reader in need of a swift-acting tonic, I prescribe picking up this thriller as soon as possible"
"Intriguing"
"Some gore (historical gore doesn’t count) but mostly nice historical detail (reminding you that doctors never do know everything) with a little overlay of romantic tension and a side of old-fashioned feminism. Compelling"
"PRAISE FOR THE WAY OF ALL FLESH: Parry's Victorian Edinburgh comes vividly alive – and it's a world of pain" (VAL McDERMID)
