Reader Reviews:
Jan-andrew Henderson excels himself (19/20 people found this helpful)
After reading another book by this author (The Ghost That Haunted Itself) I actively searched for more of his books, fortunately Edinburgh- City of The Dead had just been released. This book has a much broader spectrum of aspects of Edinburgh's darker and, perhaps at times, sinister side. Wonderfully written, Henderson mixes fact with a light hearted breezy nature that often had me laughing out loud. Covering topics from paganism to Mary Shelly's Frankenstein, this book was a wealth of knowledge, which has to be said, has helped me start up many a conversation while in company!!!
If you have read The Ghost That Haunted Itself then this is an absolute must to read, refreshingly different but by no means less talentedly written.
