The Sign of the Devil by Oscar de Muriel (Frey & McGray #7)

The Devil Has Come to Edinburgh…

An ill-fated grave-robbery unearths a corpse with a most disturbing symbol on it. The very same sign is daubed in blood on the walls of Edinburgh’s lunatic asylum, on the night that one of the patients is murdered. The mark in question? The mark of the devil.

The prime suspect: Amy McGray, the asylum’s most infamous inmate, a young woman who has grown up behind bars after she killed her parents many years ago. Her brother, Detective ‘Nine-Nails’ McGray, knows the evidence is stacked against her. To prove her innocence, he needs the help of an old friend… Inspector Ian Frey insists he is retired. But when called upon, he reluctantly agrees to their final case.

Because this is the case in which all will be revealed – as twists follow bombshells on the way to the secrets that have been waiting in the shadows…

My Review: The end of a series it's always a bitter-sweet moment and if you loved the characters it may be hard to say good bye. I discovered this series using Netgalley and fell hard for the "strange couple" Ian Frey and Adolphus "Nine Nails" McGray. They're a perfect match in a sort of positivism vs occultism and this differences made them a very effective couple of detective. They're also complex person and there's always a fun side that makes me smile. As this was the final story part of me wanted to read it very fast and part of me was reluctant to say goodbye. I thoroughly enjoyed this twisty and gripping novel, it surprised me and kept me hooked. It's a gothic novel with plenty of humour. We get to know what happened and all the mysteries were solved in a very satisfying way. I loved this series and think it was one the most entertaining in the historical mystery field. I can't wait to read the next book by Oscar de Muriel and I'm sure I won't be disappointed. This gripping and entertaining novel is strongly recommended. Many thanks to Orion and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

The Author; Oscar de Muriel was born in Mexico City where he began writing stories aged seven, and later came to the UK to complete a PhD in Chemistry. Whilst working as a translator and playing the violin, the idea for a spooky whodunnit series came to him and Nine-Nails McGray was born. Oscar has now written four Frey and McGray titles and splits his time between Manchester and Mexico City.

So, it’s been a while…

Hello everyone!

I wish I was here with some better news, but this last year been a rough one. I can’t even remember when I said I was going to start reading ‘Sign of the Devil’ but I know it was a while ago.

So TLDR of it all is last May I lost my best friend of nearly 11 years, my wee bun, Kirby. It was very sudden and not the ending I wanted for him. I also found out that losing him was my first full blown experience of grief (I’m no stranger to losing people, but this was the first one that I felt). On top of all this, I’ve got some sort of sleep issue, it started with me falling asleep on the toilet, and has now progressed to where I can fall asleep anywhere, at work, on the bus, etc, which has made reading difficult, because anything that might relax me, makes me sleepy, and off I go. I’ve also been injuring myself, for example a month ago, fell asleep on the toilet, and fell face first into the stool and bust my mouth open (my teeth nearly went through my lip), I’ve also fallen asleep and called over just walking. The GP thinks is sleep apnea, and I’ve got tests to do etc so we’ll see.

But, finally, I am making a start on book 7. I’ve technically read one page and started to fall asleep (not a testament to the writing ofc).

Also as a side note, I got my dad into the series and he’s now read it all. We’ve been on an ebook binge and we’ve been clearing out our physical books and replacing them.

But here we are, book 7. Of course I shall let you know my thoughts either during or after :)

post mortem

you can find the full fic on ao3!

Ian stood next to Doctor Reed, trying to breathe in regular intervals. His mind felt numb and he wasn’t sure he would be able to answer if Reed asked him any questions. The young man next to him was white as a sheet, scalpel already in hand as if ready to go to work. The light tremor moving through Reed’s body wouldn’t be noticeable if it weren’t for the fact neither of them had moved in the past few minutes. It could have been longer, Ian wasn’t sure. Nothing felt real anymore. He couldn’t believe any of this to be real.

His eyes were set on the unmoving body in front of them. The corpse’s skin a pale ashen color, muscles lax - the rigor mortis hadn’t even set in yet - and blue eyes dimly staring at the ceiling.
