I didn't have to read far into Edinburgh Twilight to determine that Carole Lawrence is a gifted practitioner of prose writing, capable of producing atmospheric, evocative descriptive passages. Reading a little farther revealed that this novel would feature a fairly standard cast of characters--a brilliant investigator with a tortured personal background, a superior whose grudging admiration he has earned, a loyal subordinate, and a creepy serial killer for an adversary--and a fairly standard police procedural/thriller plot which unfortunately developed too slowly to be really gripping. More unfortunate, though, were the anachronisms and inaccuracies in terminology that kept making me stop and say to myself, "Wait, that can't be right." A few examples: A woman in 1881, when the novel is set, couldn't have been working as a typist since typewriters didn't become standard office equipment till a few years later. A bruise would likely have been treated with an application of arnica or other liniment, not an icepack. A nearsighted person wouldn't have trouble threading a needle; close work is difficult for people who are farsighted. Whip stitch is used to close seams, not sew on buttons. A character couldn't have said he was "allergic" to dogs; the word didn't even enter the English language till the 20th century. The cumulative effect of these and other mistakes made it impossible for me to really enjoy this book. Assuming that, like me, other fans of period mysteries demand a reasonable degree of historical accuracy in their reading, the mistakes also make the book impossible for me to recommend.
I was really drawn to this book by the blurb, a detective story set in Edinburgh at the end of the 19th century. Murders to be solved without all the gadgets and gizmos of modern crime scene investigation and no DNA!! I really wanted to like Detective Inspector Hamilton and sometimes I did, but he failed my 'would I like to be stuck in a lift with this person' test with his frequent Shakespeare quotes. I did rather enjoy the cheeky chappy that was the urchin Derek McNair. I expected a slow pace but I'm sorry to say I found this dragged and I didn't get the build of tension that I was expecting.I received an ARC of Edinburgh Twilight via NetGalley and my thanks to the publishers Thomas & Mercer for that.
One of the worst novels I have ever read, the characters are so artificial, the principal character gives out 5 pound notes in a tip this would represent about 25% of his annual salary. The dialect is current low life Scotland while in that period the dialect would be as in a Burns Poem, would be unintelligible to a modern reader.In the period homosexuality was a Penal Offence and the participants and there clubs would be well known to the police. I wonder why the ace detective never interviews friends of the murdered?.
Ian Hamilton is an earnest police detective with a logical brain and deep emotional scars. He is determined to find the sadistic serial killer known as the Hollyrood Strangler. With the aid of a police sidekick, a savvy street kid, the best pickpocket in Edinburgh, a rotund librarian, a brawny brawler, Ian's aunt, and other assorted characters from both sides of the law, Ian gathers clues and bruises as the body count rises.The detective yarn kept my attention for a while, but then got rather muddled as threads of social issues and psychological pathos were woven into the plot. The detective yarn progressed to the expected ending, but it seemed to me that there were a number of loose ends left for the next Ian Hamilton novel to develop.Gritty detective fiction isn't one of my preferred genres, but I took advantage of a free-if-you-write-an-honest-review offer. I hope this review will be useful to someone.
Very atmospheric historical procedural! Try this one if you enjoy books set in another time and place- in this case 1881 Edinburgh. This is a great introduction into what looks as though it will be a good series as Ian, the protagonist, is a young man. He's chasing a very sick killer with the able assistance of his aunt Lillian (she's a hoot) and his colleagues, some of whom are better than others. You will read some of the story from the killer's perspective and beware that this has some dark and ugly parts. It's well written and plotted and genuinely entertaining. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC. I read this in the summer but it would be especially good to read on a rainy day.
I listened to this on audiobook and I'm pretty sure this is a case where I would've enjoyed the story more if I'd read it myself. The narrator's voice sounded a bit dry to me and though he did a pretty good job differentiating the voices for all the male characters, his attempts to do the female voices left a lot to be desired.As for the actual story, there's a serial killer in 1880's Edinburgh and D.I. Ian Hamilton, a man haunted by his own tragic past, tasks himself with bringing the killer to justice. I never quite warmed up to Hamilton. He quotes a lot of Shakespeare which was okay at first but grew progressively annoying the more he did it. He's also fairly rude to several characters who didn't deserve it. It also seemed to me that the major clues in the case came because of the efforts of other characters. It never really felt to me that D.I. Hamilton ever did much actual sleuthing himself, unless you count declaring that the second victim was killed by the same person even before seeing the body as proper detective work. The story also felt longer than it needed to be. I attribute part of this to the fact that the author gives life summaries to practically every one-off character that appears on the page. Overall I wasn't sold on the characters or the murderous plot but I may still give the second book a try when it comes out - though I'll read it myself to see if that makes a difference in my level of enjoyment and investment.
