4th & last stop: a sunny day in #Edinburgh 🏴 (Victoria Street)
The Future Future: great cover, very weird concept and terrible execution. Zero stars. I just flipped through the second half and it got weirder and weirder.

Her mummified body is hidden in the dark corner of a basement room, a room which seems to have been left untouched for decades. A room which feels as cold as the grave.
pickI'm really enjoying this series with its mix of authentic-feeling (to this non-cop) police procedural with supernatural elements. I like that Tony McLean 1) will not stop digging on a case until he gets the truth, even when that tenacity is detrimental to his career, 2) cares for the people on his team, 3) his response to the supernatural situations he finds himself in- a mixture of acceptance and exasperation- amuses me.

pickOne of the richest men in Edinburgh is found dead in bed with traces of arsenic in his stomach. His son is accused of the murder but Raven's new fiancée believes him to be innocent and asks him to investigate.
Despite some well-worn tropes, the mystery all came together nicely enough but the social and medical background are still what attracts me to this series.
pickA nurse's patients are dying - but is she unwittingly spreading disease or is she a serial killer?
A good mystery set in a time when medical practitioners had noticed a better survival rate if they washed their hands between patients but didn't know why.
There is not a woman in this realm who does not understand what it is to be afraid.
