About this audiobook
Thirty years of postcards. One address. Never sent.
Effie Munro's aunt died leaving a tin, and in the tin are forty-one postcards to a man Effie has heard of — Arthur Gull, the celebrated photographer of Edinburgh's poor, the man whose portraits hang in the city's best rooms.
He reads his postcards without expression and asks Effie to burn them.
She does not burn them. She reads them properly. And then she finds the room above his studio, where a hundred and forty women have their names and dates written on the backs of their portraits, and where the dates stop when the women stop appearing in the city directory.
A Victorian historical horror mystery about a very respectable man.
