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.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 206
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.

The year is 1861. The American Civil War has just begun, and London arms dealer Daniel Alberton is becoming a very wealthy man. His quiet dinner party seems remote indeed from the passions rending America. Yet investigator William Monk and his bride, Hester, sense growing tensions and barely concealed violence. For two of the guests are Americans, each vying to buy Alberton’s armaments. Soon Monk and Hester’s forebodings are fulfilled as one member of the party is brutally murdered and two others disappear - along with Alberton’s entire inventory of weapons.

Publisher's Summary
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. And the more Pitt learns about Sir John's past, the more he puts himself and his loved ones at risk. The royal family cannot be denied, but will the most important case of Pitt's career be his last?

this was hands down my favorite one so far! it has the feel of the earlier Charlotte and Thomas investigations but with the polish of the newer ones. I am a lot g time reader of the Pitt and Monk books ever since my grandparents turned me onto to them. I'll just say the end has a special treat for all devoted readers!!!

Sir Thomas and Lady Pitt
Wow! A great ending. I have a feeling it may be the end of a wonderful series. Started off a little slow, but picked up after a few chapters. Can't wait for a whole new series from one of my favorite authors. I would be remiss if I didn't include the narrator who always brings Anne Perry's characters to life,

where does Anne Perry go from here?
I have read All of Miss Perry's books (listened to them too) , but this one tops them all!! I adore Thomas & Charlotte Pitt, following them from beginning to end was GREAT!
The best of all was having Thomas knighted .
Sir Thomas & Lady Pittman now my question is
where do we go from here Miss Perry!!!

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?

A good book but needed editing
This is the first Anne Perry book I've read. She writes well but I found a great many repetitious descriptions, e.g., "Lord Halbert (the guy whose death spurs the investigation) was a man who knew a great deal about a great many people," over and over again. It would have been a better book if cut down by 2 hours.

Another fasinating book from Anne Perry!
Proves that politics had never changed, not even since the Romans!
Loved the end!? Through the ages!
