        			No good deed shall go unpunished. . . When an Edinburgh Police Vice Squad raid goes embarrassingly awry, Inspector Tony McLean is confronted by something he had thought long buried.Haunted by the echoes of an old case, the memories won&apos;t fade as McLean struggles to piece together the elusive connections between a series of strange and gruesome deaths shocking the city.The investigation draws him ever deeper into the upper echelons of Edinburgh society. Powerful people who do not take kindly to being asked the wrong questions. McLean never was one to toe the line, and his stubborn refusal to do so brings into play shadowy forces that put not only his career but his life in grave danger.In chasing the monsters of the present, McLean must also confront shadows of the past - but at what cost? Is it too late to undo the damage that has been done . . .?

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent series
*by J***K on 9 November 2017*

I have now read all of the first six books in this series. I have read them mostly in succession and found when I tried to read something by another author inbetween I couldn't find the rhythm. I've really enjoyed all of these books and whilst it isn't necessary to read them in the correct order, as with most series of books it does help in getting to know the characters and making sense of references to earlier stories.I enjoy the character of DI McLean, yes he's a bit predictable in that he has flaws as most good fictional detectives do, but he generally does what's right, even if his superiors don't agree. Maybe there was a little too much disagreement between him and his superior officers, some of which became occasionally a little tedious and not quite believable.There have been some comments regarding the slightly supernatural elements in the later books, and yes, that could be a bit of a distraction, and in The Damage Done did not add much to the plot. However, in The Book of Souls the supernatural aspect is the basis of the plot. Oswald's character Madame Rose is interesting but again felt a bit like a token addition to the plots in the later books, maybe in the interests of equality? Who knows?So............a good series of books, loved the characters, must have as read them all in the correct order! Am now waiting for the latest ones to be offered as part of a sale when I will certainly buy them

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another great book by James Oswald
*by N***S on 24 February 2017*

DI Tony McLean has been seconded to the sex crimes unit.  He and his colleagues are carrying out a raid on a house they believe is being used as a brothel but when they enter and process everyone there all is not as it seems.  During the raid Tony meets Heather Marchmont who is renting the house and he can't help but feel that they have met before but he can't think where or when.  Then a body is found in strange circumstances followed by the death of one of the people arrested during the brothel raid and Tony is convinced there is a link between all three.  Before he can start investigating properly he's removed from the sex crimes unit and made to work on cold cases with Grumpy Bob and his old nemesis Duguid.  Is one of their cold cases linked to the current cases and is Duguid telling McLean everything he knows?  Their resulting investigation leads to both their lives being threatened and McLean's suspension but when he gets home a surprise visitor arrives. Love this series of books.

### ⭐⭐⭐ I enjoyed this book up to a point
*by A***R on 26 June 2017*

I enjoyed this book up to a point, the point being that now after reading a few of James' books I found some of the detail rather repetative: I like the Inspector as a character; he comes across as completely human, but I thought the book relied rather too much on the detail of his domestic life eg a little less on the takeaways might improve the dialogue, at least for my taste. His lack of ambition too I find unattractive, again a personal thought. His elevation to Chief Inspector at some point would, I think, introduce a fresh perspective in his relationship with colleagues, particularly those more senior and seemingly less able with whom he seems to be constantly at odds.
