#Edinburgh 1829. Mrs Burke and Mrs Hare….it’s a dark tale.

Crail in Fife looking so pretty yesterday.

These mysterious tiny coffins were discovered on Arthur’s Seat, Edinburgh, in 1836: seventeen of them — carefully arranged: two rows of eight, with one placed on top.

Could they be connected to the Burke and Hare murders?

They feature in my novel 'Mrs Burke and Mrs Hare'

Delighted with these early reviews for Mrs Burke and Mrs Hare!

Did you know Burke and Hare weren’t actually grave robbers? They murdered people and sold the bodies. But here’s the part history usually skips: their wives knew more than they let on.

That eerie gap is where my novel began.

Mrs Burke and Mrs Hare is out now
