Critic reviews

"When Anne Perry puts Thomas and Charlotte Pitt on the case, we are in exemplary Victorian company." (The New York Times)

Abrupt ending

This was not my favorite of the series. It took a long time to figure out what was happening, and the ending was quite abrupt.

Great narration

Davina Porter does a great job narrating these stories. I only wish she was also narrating the Daniel Pitt series also.

Rutland Place

Mixed emotions about this troubled story The author brings forth serious truths that are terrible in life

Charlotte as usual is compassionate and wise.

Lots of swallowing in the narration. Yuck.

The story is great. Engaging with interesting characters. But the constant swallowing noises of the narrator make it very difficult to listen.

Davina Porter!

I wonder if I would love these books so much if they were narrated by someone else. In any case, if there’s a better narrator, I haven’t found one!
