About this listen

In this sequel to the acclaimed The Wages of Sin - and once again set in moody fin de siecle Edinburgh - Sarah Gilchrist finds herself trying to prove her fiance's innocence in the midst of his murder trial.

Edinburgh, 1893.

Sarah Gilchrist has no intention of marrying her dull fiance Miles, the man her family hopes will restore her reputation and put an end to her dreams of becoming a doctor, but when he is arrested for a murder she is sure he didn't commit, she finds herself his reluctant ally.

Beneath the genteel facade of upper class Edinburgh lurks blackmail, adultery, poison, and madness, and Sarah must return to Edinburgh's slums, back alleys, and asylums as she discovers the dark past about a family where no one is what they seem, even Miles himself.

It also brings her back into the orbit of her mercurial professor, Gregory Merchiston - he sees Sarah as his protege, but can he stave off his demons long enough to teach her the skills that will save her life?

So great! Audio production has issues!

I loved this one more than the first book. I love the way the main character's personal ordeal is revealed bit by bit. The audio production of this book has me wondering if they were amateurs? So many times there are repeated lines and I am sure that the author did not write it like that. I think the editing was hurried through and I feel like that reflects poorly on the author. Needs to be fixed...wouldn't take much to do it. I must give a GLOWING 10 star review to the narrator! She is MAGNIFICENT! Unbelievably great with female and male voices and different accents! Highly recommend!!

A wonderful read!

I definitely recommend it! I hope this continues as a series. It is different from the usual historical novel.

Fantastic!

Simply wonderful! I loved everything about this book! The characters, mystery, murder, love.

Sara is a true original and all I want is more stories!! Mary Jane is one of my favorite narrators and was perfection.

Even better than the first one!

I really liked the first book in the series but this one really stepped it because the story was faster passed and even more humor sprinkled appropriately in story line. I really hope the author will continue with a third installment even though it’s been 4 years.

There must be a Book 3!

I’ve enjoyed listening to most of my chosen audio books, but my favorite by far is the Sarah Gilchrist series by Kaite Welsh. The writing and narration lack nothing— it is the perfect package. It pained me to finish the second book. I have scoured the internet in search of news that Ms Welsh is working on a sequel. There is more to tell of Sarah, her unladylike pursuits and her two loves. Please say this isn’t the end.

Hopefully There Is More In The Future

I really like both of the books in this series. I hope there are future additions in the very near future. The narrator does a wonderful job also.

Engaging!

I liked both books in the series but am disappointed that there isn’t a third book. It feels like we’ve been left hanging. If there is another book someday, expand the romance. A challenging career is important but not as important as love.

The Thrill Continues!

Fantastic, Thrilling, can’t stop listening early 20th century mystery! Highly recommended!
One fault: the narrator has an annoying lisp!

Great series!

I absolutely love this series and can't wait for the next book. I find myself not even caring about solving the mystery, I just want more dialogue! The narrator is divine and does an
amazing job with the characters.
