Reseñas de la Crítica

"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.

A new Anne Perry fan!

Excellent book. My first Anne Perry book, but not my last. Great story teller.

Death In The Devil's Acre

I love Anne Perry books. This one I especially liked. She has such a great way of telling the story. Even though it's about murder, it's a classy murder mystery without today's bad language and steamy sex. Anne Perry is a breath of fresh air as far as I'm concerned.

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.

Wow! Exciting!

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

Love the characters

I like that story bring in bits of the previous stories to give a more interesting feel to this story. Davina’s narration is excellent!

Love the series however…

The endings always leave you hanging and not completely satisfied. The endings are always abruptly finished.

This is another great story from Anne Perry. It is helpful if you have read some of her other works. Good read!
