Multiple murders: a stolen inheritance. Injured at the start of the Indian mutiny in 1858, Scotsman Findo Gask finds himself in Melbourne during the fabled Gold Rush where he stumbles across the mystery of a stolen inheritance. Together with his new idiosyncratic friend, Erroll Rait he seeks out the truth, travelling back to London, Edinburgh, the Scottish highlands and then to Melbourne again, uncovering multiple murders and then a sinister plot to add himself and his client to the list of victims.Taking readers back to the days of steam trains and clipper ships, gas-lit Edinburgh streets and the goldfields of Australia with the unravelling of a mystery and the discovery of a relentless murderer, The Case of the Emigrant Niece is a spellbinding novel that captures the imagination and transports you back to a different age.Suspenseful and engaging. Loved the characters and story, also the historical content and references. I look forward to reading more of the author's books. Melbourne Book Club Reviewer
