Sad but true story of the plight of woman

Any additional comments?

I thank the author for her research into the plight of woman during this time in our
history. As usual, her characters tell an in-depth and touching story. Thank you
Anne Perry , and thank you Davina Porter for an excellent performance.

Narration spectacular!

Excellent story! Angsty and gripping up until the last two pages. Anne Perry's mysteries are addictive.

Set in the past, but so very current

Subject is very apropos to current (2023) events - frightening that we might be sliding back to these norms. Also a fabulous story!

Not enough titles

What a little gem, Bethlehem Road is! Not only an easy and enjoyable listen, but it historically presents an authentic picture of the early struggles of the Suffragette movement and the pathetic conditions that women lived under. Can we please have some more of Inspector Pitt titles to choose from and in the unabridged format?

So true to life!

An excellent read. The performance of the narrator is fantastic, and the author keeps the ending a surprise every time!

Great Series

I knew Anne Perry was a good writer and I love Davina Porter so I took a chance on this series.
The description of the characters is so vivid I feel as if I know them. I do get a little upset about how women were treated in that time period. The mysteries are good with not a lot of blood and not a lot of brutality.
I highly recommend this series but it’s best to start with the first book.

I love this series.

Would you listen to Bethlehem Road again? Why?

For sure...I always hear things I may have missed the first time.

What about Davina Porter’s performance did you like?

She is awesome. I believe she is my favorite narrator. She brings the characters to life for me.

Repetitive

I really like Anne Perry's books--her plots and characters are great. And Davina Porter does a great job narrating. But really, does Perry have to remind us every ten minutes about what has gone before? It's like a serialized novel, where you have to get readers up to speed in case they missed a chapter. It got very irritating.

Other than that, good story, good characters. Would like to see her highlight more working class characters as regulars.
