Acerca de esta escucha

As a new century approaches, Edinburgh is a city divided. The wealthy residents of New Town live in comfort, while Old Town's cobblestone streets are clotted with criminals, prostitution, and poverty.

Detective Inspector Ian Hamilton is no stranger to Edinburgh's darkest crimes. Scarred by the mysterious fire that killed his parents, he faces his toughest case yet when a young man is found strangled in Holyrood Park.

With little evidence aside from a strange playing card found on the body, Hamilton engages the help of his aunt, a gifted photographer, and George Pearson, a librarian with a shared interest in the criminal mind. But the body count is rising. As newspapers spin tales of the "Holyrood Strangler," panic sets in across the city. And with each victim, the murderer is getting closer to Hamilton, the one man who dares to stop him.

I think this might have been engrossing but...

The narrator was truly awful. He has a repetitive, predictable pattern to the tonality of his reading that began to drive me crazy. I couldn't finish the book even though I was intrigued by the plot and the characters.

Great book and awesome narration..



OK, to start with, this book did NOT have to be 446 pages. It was like the author just kept adding to it whether it made any sense at all, or was even interesting. Why do writers do that? I can’t imagine how they can wonder when reviewers say it was “too long” or “too wordy” or too much of unnecessary description.” This was definitely toooo long.

However, it was pretty good, but I would never have bought it if it hadn’t been a free read and free listen. I can't be bothered listening/reading books this long anymore. But for free

It was about a serial killer who killed some gay men and some not gay by strangling them, and he poisoned one woman because he was afraid she knew too much, so it was hard for Ian Hamilton to figure out who and why the guy was killing. It did show the killers POV and I do like when authors write that.

I did like Aunt Lillian, Donald, Dickerson, Crawford, Derek and Pearson. They were all great secondary characters but I just hate it when you get to know someone and the author feels the need to kill them off.

There was absolutely NO SEX, or anything even resembling sex, in this book. And absolutely NO SWEARING, except for the one time the F-bomb was let loose when Ian was yelling at his brother Donald.

As to the narrator: Napoleon Ryan did an awesome job. His reading voice for both the men and the women was just incredible. He laughed, cried, yelled and burped very loudly when young Derek, a street urchin, finished eating. I was so amazed when he did that I laughed so hard I almost wet myself. Flabbergasted, that’s what I was when he burped, simply flabbergasted. I love Napoleon Ryan’s narration.

Gripping

What a wonderful performance by the narrator. He brought this book alive with the different characters voices. He did a wonderful job with the author's book. The mystery kept me guessing and fearing what was going to happen next.

Well written

This book had just a touch of humor, an exciting murder mystery, and characters to cheer for. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and plan on buying the rest of the series. I highly recommend it to those who enjoy a good, historical, detective story!

Read & listened to ‘Edinburgh Twilight’ in 2 days!

This was a fabulous book! Right off the bat Napoleon Ryan as the narrator was outstanding! The way he could put on so many Scottish, British, French & even women & children’s voices was spot on! So I wanted to say that right away!

‘Edinburgh Twilight’ is definitely a sit on the edge of your sit mystery thriller! I couldn’t put it down & I usually give myself a break once and a while from a book, but this one was different.

We are originally from England but my Aunt & a few cousins are from Edinburgh & I know the area very well, historically it was written perfectly.

Ian Hamilton is the DNI in Edinburgh looking for a killer who strikes his victims in horrible ways, not viciously, but he is horribly warped in his mind. More than one victim is struck down by this slick, pitiful, sick mind and unfortunately when you hear his voice, it can send shivers up your spin.

I’m not giving anything away, and there aren’t too many characters that you won’t be able to follow..but..which is why I couldn’t give it straight 5 stars is bcuz the killers father kept being brought up into his thoughts when he was killing BUT they were never explained in the end.

I wasn’t happy with the way it ended either. Rather, It didn’t give me the satisfaction of the way it ended..I think that’s a better view.

Ian is a very complicated yet put together DNI in Edinburgh but his past too was mentioned many times and in the end not fully explored. I am hoping Book 2 will help me understand Ian more and the way he ticks. Other than that, completely recommend ‘Edinburgh Twilight’!
Onto Book 2!

Great Historical Detective Story

I really enjoyed this audiobook, for many reasons. It was filled with great well rounded characters. And the chase of the serial killer, well written with interesting people.
The fact that the setting for this story was the city, Edinburgh, was where I was born and raised. Added so much to this book, so perhaps I’m a little biased. I knew all the streets, and where the Detective was living and walking. Even on the street where I grew up, in the Old Town. And was more of an era, when my Grandmother grew up.(

I’m sure that added much to my pleasure in listening to the story. Hearing the accents again, which were all well performed. Even the women’s voices and young boys.
I can’t wait to purchase the next book, in this series.

Horrible narrator almost ruins it

This audiobook was pretty hard to listen too. The narrator is horrible. It was only after I sped up the speed of the story that I was able to actually stand it.
The story itself is ok.

Very entertaining

I loved all of the different voices and the story was very entertaining and just when I thought I had figured it out everything changed.
