I realise I'm late to the party with regard to the Inspector McLean series by James Oswald, but better late than never.
Natural Causes is the first book in the series, and it is not your average police procedural. There is a supernatural element to it, in the shape of a demon, summoned during a ritualistic murder.
Fast forward sixty years, when the body of a young woman is discovered bricked up in the basement of an old house. This is followed by the discovery of the body of a prominent Edinburgh citizen. More murders follow, and a spate of suicides. Could these events be linked?
I loved this book. All the elements tie together seamlessly to make a chilling, engaging read. I am really looking forward to becoming further acquainted with Inspector McLean.
