The Edinburgh Mystery
The Edinburgh Mystery: And Other Tales of Scottish Crime | Martin Edwards
4 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
"Readers who know Scotland will glow with recognition; those who don't will want to pack their bags and maybe a gun." —Kirkus Reviews From the Highlands to the borders, the bustling cities to the remote isles in cold seas, the unique landscapes and locales of Scotland have long inspired writers of the very best Golden Age mysteries.

T. Campbell.
