1895. Rose McQuinn has arrived back in Edinburgh from the States after the death of her husband and child. She meets old friend Alice Boulton who is convinced her husband is having an affair and wants Rose to investigate. There is also the death of kitchen maid Molly Dunn to be concerned with, though the guilty party is quite obvious.
Overall an enjoyable historical mystery and decent start to this new series.

An enjoyable mystery, set in Edinburgh in the 1890s, with a main character that is truly interesting and very engaging.
I'll be listening to the rest of this series
