Story4.5 out of 5 stars 76
It’s April 2020 and Edinburgh is in lockdown, but that doesn’t mean crime takes a holiday. It would seem like a strange time for a cold case to go hot—the streets all but empty, an hour’s outdoor exercise the maximum allowed—but when a source at the National Library contacts DCI Karen Pirie’s team about documents in the archive of a recently deceased crime novelist, it seems it’s game on again. What unspools is a twisted game of betrayal and revenge, but no one quite expects how many twists it will turn out to have.

Does JK Rowling appreciate her audible followers. Please allow us to SKIP THE EPIGRAPHS. Attach as pdf.
Good story hidden under hours of rambling. Thank Goodness for wonderful narration. Sadly, Strike is taking the same rabbit hole as the Potter series.

Another wonderful performance from Angus King! Bob Hoon only needs brief appearances to complete the story. Rest of the characters were "meh"

The Spinning Jenny was invented in 1770, and with that, a new era of manufacturing and industry changed lives everywhere within a generation. A world filled with unrest wrestles for control over this new world order: A mother’s husband is killed in a work accident due to negligence; a young woman fights to fund her school for impoverished children; a well-intentioned young man unexpectedly inherits a failing business; one man ruthlessly protects his wealth no matter the cost, all the while war cries are heard from France.
