Critic reviews

"Give her a good murder and a shameful social evil, and Anne Perry can write a Victorian mystery that would make Dickens' eyes pop." (The New York Times Book Review)

great story

loved it. Davina Porter is one of the best narrators around. such a range. The story was great and kept you wondering. absolutely loved it.

DEFINITELY worth listening to

This is another stunning Anne Perry -- where there is much discussion of social classes and the larger world of England during the Vicotrian era. The amazing thing about Perry is that these details are in her books not just to set a context for the story line, but to advance the plot. Not a word is wasted -- not even when discussing clothing at a ball. Everything is important to the mystery, and you just might learn a bit about people while you're listening.

Narration is excellent. I gave it only 4 starts out of 5 because I think the ending is a bit weaker than some of her others. But it's still amazing to me how she does it.

wonderful as usual

the Pitts are wonderful as usual. This is a great series of mystery and murder.

"Murder Most Foul "

This superbly narrated novel focuses on a series of gruesome murders. The characters come from all social classes in Victorian society.

Narration is engaging. This story is action-packed to the very last paragraph. it's a really good read!
