As with its predecessor, this second novel about Sarah Gilchrist, aspiring physician, has a fascinating and complex protagonist. Unfortunately the mystery plot this time is even less believable than before, with various loose ends and an obvious villain. The writing about plot points feels sloppy. This book series would be far better if it disposed of the mystery "hook" altogether and focused on the experiences of Gilchrist and other women medical students in 1890s Edinburgh. Their struggles and triumphs are interesting on their own. (

We were introduced to Sarah Gilchrist in THE WAGES OF SINS and her plight continues in THE UNQUIET HEART. Sarah has always dreamed of becoming a doctor. However, because it's 1893, it is the general opinion that women should not strive to be something other than wives and mothers. And she has paid dearly for her dreams. Now, she may have to marry a man she doesn't love because her family demands it. But, then a housemaid in her fiance's house is murdered and she wants to know if Miles had anything to do with it.

I liked this a bit more than the first in the series. (

Sarah Gilchrist has found herself a fiancee. To be more precise she has been affianced to the younger son of a friend of her uncle. Miles is dull but acquiescent and he will lend a veneer of respectability to Sarah, however he will stop her medical studies. When one of the maids at his house is murdered Sarah finds herself thrust into another investigation and when her intended father-in-law is also killed Sarah has to act.
I really enjoyed the first of these novels and the second is no different. Welsh has managed to put together a book which shouldn't work but it does. At its heart is a simple detective tale set in late Victorian Edinburgh and at this level the story is sufficiently complex to be really satisfying with a real sense of time and place. What lifts these novels above the more mundane is the feminist slant, not so much to be abrasive but integral to the characters and the story. (

The Unquiet Heart by Kaite Welsh is an exciting historical mystery. Kaite Welsh has written another Sarah Gilchrist mystery that I could not put down. Sarah is always doing the unexpected for a woman of her era. The Unquiet Heart has something to please everyone adventure, romance, mystery, thrills and unusual characters. I especially love the medical and historical details. I look forward to reading the next book in this thrilling series. (

In this sequel to the acclaimed The Wages of Sin-and once again set in moody fin de siecle Edinburgh-Sarah Gilchrist finds herself trying to prove her fiance's innocence in the midst of his murder trial.

Edinburgh, 1893.

Sarah Gilchrist has no intention of marrying her dull fiance Miles, the man her family hope will restore her reputation and put an end to her dreams of becoming a doctor, but when he is arrested for a murder she is sure he didn't commit, she finds herself his reluctant ally.

Beneath the genteel facade of upper class Edinburgh lurks blackmail, adultery, poison, and madness, and Sarah must return to Edinburgh's slums, back alleys, and asylums as she discovers the dark past about a family where no one is what they seem, even Miles himself.

It also brings her back into the orbit of her mercurial professor, Gregory Merchiston-he sees Sarah as his protege, but can he stave off his demons long enough to teach her the skills that will save her life?
