Critic reviews

"The mystery is an adroit blend of thick London atmosphere and a convincing cast, mingled with the complex and straitlaced conventions of Victorian England. A bonus is a totally surprising yet wonderfully plausible finale." (Publishers Weekly)

Best one so far

Less predictable and less repetitive than all the others - good intrigue and good twist at the end. And brilliantly narrated as usual by Davina Porter.

In fine form

As always, Anne Perry is excellent. You almost think you've got it figured out and then you don't. Good view of life and society in the times, and as always with Perry, good thorough psychological portraits. Well plotted and enjoyable.

Great story but the production has some issues

I love this series and Davina Porter is absolutely fabulous.
My only issue is that there are a bunch of pauses missing throughout and it caused me more than once to go back because I thought I had accidentally hit the button to skip ahead.
The last word of chapter two and when she says “Chapter Three” practically overlap. Towards the end of the book I became used to it a little bit but it was still irksome, as I noticed about 15-20 instances where there should be a 1 second or more pause but the sound editing has put the words closer together than if they were two words in the same sentence.

I still highly recommend the book (the series, actually) but it was something that I only noticed with this recording that was not that way with the ones before.

Stunned by the ending!

I hadn't the faintest idea who the mystery woman in pink was until the very end! fantastic as usual.

great

starts out slow, wonder if it will good and then difficult to it down.
a really fun mystery.
