Description
Raven has enough on his hands as it is. Body parts have been found at Surgeons' Hall, and they're not anatomy specimens. In a city still haunted by the crimes of Burke and Hare, he is tasked with heading off a scandal. When further human remains are found, Raven is able to identify a prime suspect, and the hunt is on before he kills again. Unfortunately, the individual he seeks happens to be an accomplished actor, a man of a thousand faces and a renowned master of disguise.

The fourth Raven and Fisher novel sees the pair dragged in to investigate another crime while they continue with their day jobs treating patients in 19th Century Edinburgh.
For some reason I was nervous picking this book up, but clearly that was nonsense as I read it in just two days.
There’s so much going on with multiple different plot lines going on for each of the main characters, interweaved throughout the book - both affecting the specific plot of this one, and developing their lives and relationships to keep things moving for their world.
Really great, and although there’s a small amount of gore and violence, I think it’s much less than in previous books.
