Description

A hugely entertaining Victorian mystery New York TimesI enjoyed this properly creepy and Gothic Ian RankinA spellbinding concoction of crime, history and horror perfect for fans of Sherlock Holmes and Jonathan CreekEdinburgh, 1888. A violinist is murdered in his home.The dead virtuosos maid swears she heard three musicians playing in the night. But with only one body in the locked practice room and no way in or out the case makes no sense.Fearing a national panic over another Ripper, Scotland Yard sends Inspector Ian Frey to investigate under the cover of a fake department specializing in the occult.However, Freys new boss, Detective NineNails McGray, actually believes in such supernatural nonsense.McGrays tragic past has driven him to superstition, but even Frey must admit that this case seems beyond reason.And once someone loses all reason, who knows what they will lose next . . .This is wonderful. A brilliant, moving, clever, lyrical book I loved it Manda ScottA great cop doubleact . . . Its the pairing of the upright Frey and the unorthodox McGray that notches up the stars for this book Sunday SportA brilliant mix of horror, history, and humour. Genuinely riveting . . . with plenty of twists, this will keep you turning the pages. Its clever, occasionally frightening and superbly written The Strings Of Murder is everything you need in a mystery thriller Crime Review
