Summary
Two victims. Nothing connects them, except that someone buried them in the exact same way. Seven hundred years apart.
An archaeological dig at the old South Leith parish kirkyard has turned up a mysterious body dating from around 700 years ago. Some suspect that this gruesome discovery is a sacrifice, placed there for a specific purpose.
Then a second body is unearthed. This victim went missing only 30 years ago—but the similarities between her death and the ancient woman's suggest something even more disturbing.
Drawn into the investigation, Inspector McLean finds himself torn between a worrying trend of violent drug-related deaths and uncovering what truly connects these bodies. When a third body is discovered, and too close for comfort, he begins to suspect dark purpose at play—and that whoever put them there is far from finished.

As FANTASTIC as ever
I love the characters in these novels and this one was no different, although I do like the character of Rose and her parts where quite small in this book.

Another gripping story
I have been on tenterhooks waiting for another episode of the Inspector McLean saga and have to say I was not disappointed. Excellent narration by Ian Hannamore brings Tony and his coworkers to life in another story with its unusual twist. Can't wait for another!

Is this really the end?
Beautifully narrated atmospheric tale. A little over long in places but still up to the usual standards and an enjoyable listen. The whole series of books have been an excellent blend of police procedure and teamwork with the supernatural.

Another great McLean story
As one born and educated in Edinburgh it is so good to have a minds eye picture of the locations and landmarks in the city. Would like any future stories not to get too embroiled in the occult !

Exhaustion bordering on comatose.
This one is not up to scratch. I thought if I heard another word about exhausted policemen I would lapse into a coma myself. I have listened to the entire series and loved it but this one has little new to offer and I found my mind wandering.
The reader as always is excellent and saved the story from being a total bore.
Sorry, but here’s hoping the next one gets an infusion of energy.

His best yet
I have to start from a different place when I listen to a James Oswald book. I suspend my sense of reality. Good story. Fantastic narration. But what next?

Outstanding.
This is back to the weird and not so wonderful McLean world, I loved it, it was pretty clear what was happening from early on mind you but I welcomed the return to the weird. I'm not that fond of Ian Hanmore's narration though, I find him a little irritating, would prefer Angus King or Steve Worsley.

Best yet!
Again, Mr O does not let us down with his well drawn characters, old & new in this latest Inspector McLean mystery. No spoilers, you'll have to read this for yourself, but fans of the inspector will so enjoy his latest outing.
I was actually quite tearful when it ended as was caught up in the story, which I listened to over three nights, caught up in James Oswald's alternative Edinburgh.
A superb story & again narrated admirably by Ian Hanmore.
I cannot recommend this book too highly!

Normally a Great fan
I love James Oawalds DI McLean's books. I'm a great fan of the unexplained, but I found it quite heavy going in the beginning which is unusual. I hope the next one is more gripping from the first chapter. includes the cats and madam Rose more to.
