Publisher's Summary
Only dire need persuades him to accept an assignment from shipping magnate Clement Louvain to investigate the theft of a cargo of African ivory from Louvain's recently docked schooner, the Maude Idris. Monk is desperate for work, not only to feed himself and his wife, Hester, but to keep open the doors of her clinic, a last resort for sick and starving street women.
But he wonders: Why didn't Louvain report the ivory theft directly to the River Police? Why did he warn Monk not to investigate the murder of one of the Maude Idris crew? Even more mysterious, why has Louvain brought to Hester's clinic a desperately ill woman who, he claims, is the discarded mistress of an old friend? Neither Hester nor Monk anticipates the nightmare answers to these questions...nor the trap that soon so fatefully ensnares them.
Crack another case with William Monk.

"The Shifting Tide"
This is one of my favorite Anne Perry novels. She had me from the first word to the last. I really liked the characters. There was humor and wit, sadness, kindness, and all brought together in a wonderful way.

"Her best novel"
Am I ever glad I went back to one of her early Monk novels. What a wonderful story! David Colacci is an excellent narrator

"My favorite!"
Any additional comments?This is my favorite Monk book so far. (I've listened to alot but not all of them up to this one.) It has wonderful word pictures of life on and around the river at that time period and draws you more intimately into the lives of Monk, Hester, and Oliver Rathbone. It would make a great movie.

"Standing Ohhhh!!"
This book focuses on 2 connected stories that flow as one. The first 1/2 is compelling and introduces some truly quirky characters -- some of whom are absolutely charming, and others who are unspeakably bad. The second 1/2 reached out and grabbed me so I had to finish in one sitting. Perry has the gift of painting pictures with words, she provides historical color and texture such that you feel that you are physically in the midst of late 1800's London with all its excesses and squalor.
It is also important to mention that this narrator is growing on me. Altho, initially, I missed Davina Porter (who read the first 5 books in this series), I've now really embraced David Colacci and appreciate his work. From my perspective, criticisms of his narration are not warranted.1 of 1 people found this review helpful
