When a maid in the upper class Ellison household is strangled, Inspector Pitt is called in to investigate. He finds a world ruled by strict manners and social customs, where the inhabitants of the Ellison's neighborhood appear to be more outraged by the thought of scandal than they are by murder. Inspector Pitt finds a most unlikely ally in Charlotte, the Ellison's spirited daughter. But as the murders continue, Charlotte and Pitt find themselves drawn together by more than the investigation.

It's 1910, and Daniel Pitt is a reluctant lawyer who would prefer to follow in the footsteps of his detective father. When the biographer Russell Graves, who Daniel is helping defend, is sentenced to execution for the murder of his wife, Daniel's Pitt-family investigative instincts kick in, and he sets out to find the real killer. With only 21 days before Graves is to be executed, Daniel learns that Graves is writing a biography of Victor Narraway, the former head of Special Branch and a close friend of the Pitts. And the stories don't shed a positive light. Is it possible someone is framing Graves to keep him from writing the biography-maybe even someone Daniel knows in Special Branch? The only answer, it seems, lies in the dead woman's corpse.

So when pompous, pious Reverend Josiah Holworthy publicly condemns him for debauchery, Wrexford unsheathes his rapier-sharp wit and strikes back. As their war of words escalates, London's most popular satirical cartoonist, A. J. Quill, skewers them both.

Publisher's Summary

The 29th novel in Anne Perry's highly acclaimed crime series featuring Inspector Thomas PittGreenwich,1897.

A macabre scene is discovered outside a house on Shooters Hill. There has been a vicious fight, and amid the bloodstains are locks of long auburn hair. Thomas Pitt, head of Special Branch, is called: this is the home of Dudley Kynaston, a minister with access to some of the government's most dangerous secrets, and any inquiry must be handled with utmost discretion.

Although an auburn-haired maid is missing from Kynaston's household, with no evidence there is little Pitt can do. Until a corpse, mutilated beyond recognition, is discovered a few weeks later. As Pitt begins to investigate, he finds small inconsistencies in Kynaston's story. Are these harmless omissions, or could they lead to something more serious, something that could threaten not just Kynaston's own family but also his Queen and country?

A reasonable plot ruined by a dreadful narrator

If this book wasn’t for you, who do you think might enjoy it more?

The plot was not one of Anne Perry's best but it would have been enjoyable if it had been read by a different narrator. Deirdre Whelan is the worst narrator I have ever come across. Listening to her read is an endurance test, there was so little expression that it became meaningless, she could have been reading the telephone directory. I doubt anyone would enjoy her narration.

Would you be willing to try another book from Anne Perry? Why or why not?

Yes, she has written som very enjoyable books but I would avoid anything read by Deirdre Whelan

What didn’t you like about Deirdra Whelan’s performance?

A robot could have done a better job, her reading lacked expression, her voice is boring and her inability to vary the pace or to observer the punctuation made the reading meaningless. I can't believe that they allowed such a poor preform acne to be used.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Disappointment

Any additional comments?

They should find a better narrator for the Anne Perry books, almost anyone would be better but I would suggest Carole Boyd
