Book Review: The Edinburgh Murders by Catriona McPherson (publication date: 10 April 2025)

We’re following Helen Crowther, a welfare officer working for the National Health Service of Scotland in its early days, while she tries to find the solution for a murder that happens in a public wash house. The story is intriguing and makes you to want to know what happens next up to the discovery.

I also liked that besides the murder, we also follow Helen’s story and her relationships with family and other characters. I really liked the descriptions of Edinburgh, the clothes, and the domestic settings.

I didn’t realise this was a second volume in a series, but I think I enjoyed the book anyway. It made me want to read the first, though, so I could know more about Helen. I also liked the final note the author wrote detailing what were facts and what was fiction.

Thank you to Hodder & Stoughton to gift me an eARC through NetGalley.
