Carswell’s First Case: A Northminster Novella (The Northminster Mysteries) Kindle Edition

by Harriet Smart (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 239 ratings

Edinburgh, in the summer of 1839: Felix Carswell is at the start of a brilliant career, pursuing research into the structure of the heart, and assisting the celebrated Professor Logan. He has sealed his prospects by becoming engaged to Professor Logan’s charming daughter, Isabella.

However, when famous painter Benjamin Thurlow is found dead in his Edinburgh house, Felix is thrown into a murder investigation. Was this a natural death, or are there darker forces at work?

At the same time, Lord Rothborough introduces Felix to retired actress Anastasia Dundonald and her gifted granddaughter, Cordelia Wemyss. Beautiful Cordelia, trapped in a loveless marriage and dangerously ill, makes Felix question all his certainties, including his relationship with Isabella Logan, and when he uncovers the shocking truth as to how and why Thurlow died, he realises that his career in Edinburgh may be over forever.

This novella can be read at any point in the Northminster series, or before.

    I have read all this Northminster series. I was so happy when I discovered this one. It made me realise how much I miss these books. I hope next one comes soon. These books are worth reading. The characters are believable and interesting and the stories the very interesting and enjoyable.
