Kaite Welsh's thrilling medical mystery THE UNQUIET HEART is the
second in the gothic Sarah Gilchrist series, following a medical
student turned detective in Victorian Edinburgh. For readers of
Natasha Pulley's THE WATCHMAKER OF FILIGREE STREET or Laura
Purcell's THE SILENT COMPANIONS This powerful novel combines a
disturbing look at late Victorian attitudes towards women and
morality with a satisfying murder mystery - Sunday Express Sarah
Gilchrist has no intention of marrying her dull fiance Miles, the
man her family hope 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 protegee, but
can he stave off his demons long enough to teach her the skills
that will save her life?
