Well, I need start by saying that I bought this book because I am an American who happens to be in love with Scotland.  Especially the history of Scotland.  Now, with that said, I was hoping for a few snippets of 'how it used to be' in that beautiful country, but what I got was so very much more.  Mr. Laing has most certainly done his homework!  Not only did I get a fantastic story, but I felt as if I were actually walking the streets in Edinburgh, 1745.  That in itself is wonderful!  The story also did not disappoint, and you will be left wondering to the very end 'who dunnit.'  If you like crime puzzles, Scotland, history, or just a darn good story, you will not go wrong with this one.  Do yourself a favor, take a step back in time and enjoy the ride!  I contacted the author to discuss more of Scotland, and I found that he used the actual street maps from the area, and so much more actual history.  That was very exciting!  I'll be in line to read anything and everything he writes in the future!
