"Eine gute Geschichte sollte nicht mit einer toten Dirne beginnen – dafür bitte ich um Verzeihung –, schließlich handelt es sich nicht um ein Thema, mit dem achtbare Menschen sich gern zu befassen pflegen."
Die Tinktur des Todes, Ambrose Parry
(Nachdem ich sehr glücklich mit Anne Perry war, hab ich mir jetzt Ambrose Parry aus der Bücherei geholt. Das Schreibenden Duo ist mir bei einem Panel bei "Bloody Scotland" positiv aufgefallen. 🥰

And I’ve read Voices of the Dead by Ambrose Parry. I can’t believe how hooked I got on this and stormed through it in two days. Who’d have thought gynaecology and crime-solving in the mid-19th Century would be such a compelling basis for a novel series.

I also read The Spendthrift and the Swallow, a short story by Ambrose Parry which I didn’t realise existed until this week. It’s a short version of their novels, but I’m not really sure I understand the point of it. Perhaps it’s just a marketing tactic in free ebook form to promote the novels? I prefer the full-length stories.

Leaving an excellent talk at the Aye Write Festival by Ambrose Parry (IE Chris Brookmyre and his wife Marisa). We spotted a lady with 2 copies of their latest book, and joked about her apparent enthusiasm. Turns out she and the nice man with her are Chris Brookmyre’s parents! #chrisbrookmyre #AmbroseParry #ayewrite
