Description Toward Books A Pound of Flesh (Robert Young of Newbiggin Mysteries #1)
Edinburgh 1745.Deep beneath the rain soaked and wind scoured streets of the city a foul crime committed in the dark of night leaves two men lying dead in a dank cellar. A bankrupt young nobleman with an addiction to the twin vices of gambling and loose women stands accused of the horrific double murder and all the evidence seems to point towards his guilt. In desperation his lawyer turns to the one man in Edinburgh who can save him from the hangman's noose.
Robert Young of Newbiggin.
He is a young man who has earned a reputation amongst the city's legal fraternity for being the one person who can root out the truth by venturing into the capital's criminal underbelly. His investigation leads from the elegant drawing rooms of Edinburgh's high society to the city's most infamous brothel and into the grim hovels of the lowest alehouses on the Cowgate.
But as more bodies are discovered Robert Young is forced to confront the possibility that his client may actually be guilty!

I had difficulty reading this book due to the poor editing, punctuation and formatting but since the storyline and the vocabulary were interesting, I'm glad that I persevered. The historical detail was well described and the Edinburgh setting was really excellent. I'm sad I couldn't give more stars but the poor punctuation really meant it was very hard to read.Needs an Editor.This book started off really well but soon became tedious. Unfortunately there were many spelling/grammar errors throughout the book that were an annoying distraction.
It's Edinburgh in 1745 and Robert Young has been employed to prove that the Earl of Strathmickle is innocent of murder.Looking forward to reading the others in the series.
Ive spent many an evening wandering the closes and wynds of Edinburghs Royal Mile, trying to imagine what it would have been like in days gone by. The noise, the bustle, the smells of seventy thousand people, high and low born, all living cheek by jowl in Scotlands ancient capital.What a pleasure it was, therefore, to start reading Stuart Laings A Pound Of Flesh and find Auld Reekie recreated just as I would have imagined it. Not the dreamily romantic image we see on shortbread tins, but a
I read the whole thing but I had to force myself. The author needs a good editor or a better ebook formatter. There were many sentences without periods at the end. Edinburgh itself was described well. If typos bother you, avoid this at all costs.
Loved this fabulous book!Loved the characters very believable portrayal of 18th century Scotland, as someone with a soft spot for my fellow Scots I got completely addicted to this story.I MUST READ MORE!!!!!!!!! Was Wowed!
