pickI find so many books on Litsy, & this one was added to my growing tbr this month. I did the audiobook, so I got to listen to some Scottish accents. A cozy mystery about a woman who has moved to a small town in Scotland to be their doctor & immediately finds a dead body. She quickly makes friends, especially with the women, & I‘m assuming a love interest will continue developing in later books. Will continue the series, I like the characters.
pickAbsolutely loved these characters! More please
pickAn enjoyable #audiolisten. Looking forward to the next book in the series. Fun and interesting contemporary series in a charming location.
pickI cried. The research is impeccable and the characters, amazingly flawed and real.

so-soI picked this up because Edinburgh! Burke and Hare! But ultimately I was disappointed. To me, the book seeme more like a narrative jumping off point for a school discussion (history of medicine, body snatching, poverty, alcoholism) than a story in its own right. 14 year old Robbie spent most of the book in a self-destructive cycle that rarely touched much on the actual Burke & Hare crimes.
I didn't find myself eager to pick it up again.
so-soIf you find other books by Noah Gordon, go for them instead of for this.
The story dragged in parts and during the first 30 % I had problems keeping the doctors apart. Additionally I found it old-fashioned and full of clichés. Maybe a book that didn‘t age well. The German translation was sometimes also horrible.
What made me finish it, was that I considered the routine in a hospital to be told realistically. That was what I was interested in.
