Krátky popis
'A beautiful sensory overload . . . I didn't want it to
end.'&,nbsp,- Kirstin Innes, bestselling author
of&,nbsp,Scabby QueenThree women. A deadly score to
settle.EDINBURGH, 1791.&,nbsp,Isobel Duguid and her friend, the
famous castrato Clessidro, are stars of the Edinburgh Musical
Society. Despite her cavalier attitude towards holding a tune,
Clessidro's friendship and her own&,nbsp,shocking murder
ballads&,nbsp,keep Isobel on stage and enjoying an opulent
lifestyle in Auld Reekie.Yet one night a note arrives from the
mysterious Mrs Abercorn, regarding Isobel's most notorious
song,&,nbsp,The Fiddler's Wrath.&,nbsp,It's the tale of a
prima donna who died of heartbreak after her husband committed
murder andwas sent to the gallows.&,nbsp,Isobel is
intrigued.But Mrs Abercorn's curiosity is far more than a fickle
interest and&,nbsp,the truth is more complicated than anyone
could have imagined. As Isobel recounts rising through the social
classes, her role in this ill-fated tune is brought to light,
awakening the chilling retribution of a&,nbsp,once buried
secret.A story of betrayal, mystery, and the secrets some would die
to protect. Perfect for fans of&,nbsp,Patrick
Süskind&,nbsp,Perfume and&,nbsp,Kate Foster's&,nbsp,The
Maiden.'This&,nbsp,glorious romp through the filth, greed and
duplicity of 18th century Edinburgh&,nbsp,is a feminist
delight. Highly recommended.'&,nbsp,- Mary
Paulson-Ellis'A&,nbsp,wildly original&,nbsp,and alarmingly
readable historical novel whose&,nbsp,dark, blood-soaked
narrative&,nbsp,takes us by surprise at every
turn.'&,nbsp,- Andrew Taylor'Tales of opera singers and
murderers, of cobbled streets and Old Town tenements, of audacious
women and what can befall them.&,nbsp,The writing is sublime, I
loved every word.'&,nbsp,- Elissa Soave
