Liked this very much. Detective with a past (parents died in fire). Brother has different feel for parents (brother is gay--Dad beat him). Brother alcoholic--is he the serial murderer? Street urchin, librarian, side kick from a lower social stratum, all the threads brought together at the end. Nice feel for Edinburgh. Really well done. Not quite a cozy mystery; not a violent mystery. Old fashioned in a good way
Excellent start . . . orphaned girl with a knack for chess, taught by janitor, harsh orphanage despite its courtly look.
