Reseñas de la Crítica

"Perry once again weaves social history and a well-plotted puzzle to moving effect." ( Publishers Weekly)

"The masterful Perry again re-creates Victorian London, where Inspector Pitt strives to solve the murder of a usurer with sinister connections to several distinguished gentlemen." ( Library Journal)

The best Anne Perry yet!

A mystery with more questions the further you listen to the story. Every character has a secret, has a reason to be suspect yet the final five minutes had me sitting in the driveway to hear the conclusion. Never saw it coming!!

Surprise ending!

Loved the descriptions of the scenes & events. Ending caught me off guard. Well narrated

Ultimately, a very good book

This started out a bit slow, with what seemed like too much detail about the social mores if the time, but after a while, I realized they were integral to the story and the characters, if only to showcase how stultifying and defining they were to the people’s lives—especially women. The mystery took a few twists and turns and ended satisfactily, with a … but I will leave it here so as not to gove anything away.

Davina Porter is awesome. Enough said.

surprise!

I as always enjoyed! the reading was excellent and the topics covered of honor, truth and unselfishness along with horrible secrets...makes this story a great read!

It had me guessing till the end

This book is on my top 10.
Fantastic twist development. It had me guessing almost till the end.

The twist at the end

An elderly neighbor told me about Anne Perry because she & I shared our taste in books, so after she passed, I listened to my first book. I then went back to the beginning and started with both the Pitt & Monk series. Perry gives us such an education in Victorian life with interesting, well sketched characters who manage to be quite individual in each book. Charlotte and Thomas Pitt are glue that bring them all together here. The differences in class and etiquette of the day are present here, and I was kept guessing throughout. This is an excellent mystery novel and her books are always a better read because she has a marvelous grasp of language, and knows so many more adjectives than f——-g, a word in any of its forms, that is not in Ms Perry’s books. That makes me seem old but I really am getting tired of that word in fiction. Anyway, a good read when lies, misinformation, and bizarre executive declarations make you want to turn off the news and spend some time solving a mystery.

Page turner.

For us history buffs Miss Perrys books are a walk through tne past. On to the next book in the series.

Best Yet

Just when I think I understand, and am certain, Boom, I am confused. Cheers to a good listen. Almost had it all, almost

Extraordinary story

Performance is flawless. Perry's ability to meld character, motivation and story is almost unparalleled and "Belgravia Square" is among her best.

The ending!!!

I’ve loved all of these books in this series so far. I’ve only guessed a few correctly. But this one!!! Oh my word!! Talk about a plot twist. Excellent!
