Donna Freed with Marisa Haetzman, one half of Ambrose Parry

Donna Freed meets Marisa Haetsman, one half of the husband-wife writing partnership, Ambrose Parry, authors of a series of medical murder mysteries set in Victorian Edinburgh. Marisa sets the scene for the latest, Voices of the Dead , which takes place in 1853 when Edinburgh while still sceptical of medical men in the wake of the Burke and Hare murders is experiencing a resurgence in interest in mesmerism and chloroform has just been as an early anaesthetic for use in childbirth. Former Consultant Anaesthetist, Marisa made a mid-life decision to study the history of medicine. She discovered tales of medical hijinks so wild that her husband, best-selling crime writer Chris Brookmyre, suggested that they join forces and exploit the rich possibilities of invention and murder in the Victorian Age. @Radio_Gorgeous @ambroseparry @canongatebooks
