I brought this book (+ book 2: seventeen coffins) years ago in Edinburgh at the souvenior shop after visiting the real Mary Kings Close. The books are such an easy and fastpacing read but i really really enjoyed them. I read them straight away years ago after the tour and now reread them and i think i enjoyed them even more this time rereading. They give me a little Outlander feeling towards them and love the history behind them aswell! I also highly recomend anyone who visit Edingburgh to go to the Mary Kings Close where you will expierence an informative, engaging and funny tour !:----------------------------------"Join us for a one-of-a-kind journey beneath the city streets and uncover a world long forgotten.
