This Mclevy mystery occurs prior to the end of the BBC audio series. It is also more closely linked to Victorian politics than some of the other mysteries. While the focus is on Mclevy, and we get more of his backstory, which is a little different than you think. In many ways, Mclevy was made to ...
One of the reasons that I loved the Mclevy series on the BBC radio was Siobhan Redmond’s portrayal of Jean Brash, mistress of the best bawdy house in Edinburgh (actually most likely the world). This book, written by the BBC series’ creator/writer David Ashton, takes place before the close of the se...
A very good installment of the Levy mysteries. Love this series.

These stories are supposedly based on the memoirs of a real Edinburgh detective. McLevy is assigned to the dark side of the city, and his primary foe, mate, girlfriend, love interest is Jean Brash who quite frankly is friggin awesome. Each episode runs about an hour. Cox does a good job in a detecti...
