Queen Victoria herself presents the head of England's top investigative force, Thomas Pitt, with his most high stakes case yet in the 32nd installment of the New York Times best-selling series by Anne Perry. When Thomas Pitt is summoned to Queen Victoria's private chambers, he hardly knows what to expect. When she tells him that the body of one of her closest confidants - Sir John Halberd - has been found in the Serpentine, he knows he is facing his most daunting and dangerous investigation yet. Sir John was a man who kept many secrets, moving within a circle of the most powerful and prominent members of London society.

Very satisfying!

The near ration was excellent the story was so satisfying and the plot was not too complicated it was fabulous!

Inconsistent Plotline

Why can Pitt can talk to Aunt Vespasia - even the Pitt’s maid Gracie - about cases and people etc but all of a sudden he can’t share even the very most basics with Charlotte??

I enjoy the Charlotte & Thomas Pitt Mysteries

This is good period mystery. Anne Perry provides a great deal of exposition to her novels regarding custom and class propriety in Victorian England, which I like it helps the reader to understand why characters behave the way they do. Sometimes as with this story the leaps in logic can be little tricky but overall the story is a good one.

Murder on the Serpentine

Would you consider the audio edition of Murder on the Serpentine to be better than the print version?

Although it was an excellent rendition, I can't give an answer to this question...I listen to audio books because my eyes become strained when I read.

What did you like best about this story?

I found the plot very interesting and it was also very well developed and articulated. It has been some years since I read a book by Anne Perry, and reading this book, I felt she has become a master story teller. Mystery and suspense is by far my favourite genre, and yet I found her approach was quite innovative.

Have you listened to any of Jenny Sterlin’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This was my introduction to Jenny Sterlin, but I enjoyed listening to her so much that I look forward to listening to other books read by her.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

I pass on this one!

Any additional comments?

RECOMMENDED

One of her best

Truly enjoyable and easy to listen to. Definitely, one of Perry’s best books in the series of Pitt and Charlotte.
