Critic reviews

"The mystery is an adroit blend of thick London atmosphere and a convincing cast, mingled with the complex and straitlaced conventions of Victorian England. A bonus is a totally surprising yet wonderfully plausible finale." (Publishers Weekly)

In fine form

As always, Anne Perry is excellent. You almost think you've got it figured out and then you don't. Good view of life and society in the times, and as always with Perry, good thorough psychological portraits. Well plotted and enjoyable.

Great story but the production has some issues

I love this series and Davina Porter is absolutely fabulous.
My only issue is that there are a bunch of pauses missing throughout and it caused me more than once to go back because I thought I had accidentally hit the button to skip ahead.
The last word of chapter two and when she says “Chapter Three” practically overlap. Towards the end of the book I became used to it a little bit but it was still irksome, as I noticed about 15-20 instances where there should be a 1 second or more pause but the sound editing has put the words closer together than if they were two words in the same sentence.

I still highly recommend the book (the series, actually) but it was something that I only noticed with this recording that was not that way with the ones before.

Stunned by the ending!

I hadn't the faintest idea who the mystery woman in pink was until the very end! fantastic as usual.

great

starts out slow, wonder if it will good and then difficult to it down.
a really fun mystery.

Could not stop listening!

I sincerely loved this book..the characters were so real and you could feel every emotion. The vocals are flawless. Thank you again Anne for another winner! you simply have made my quarantine better than expected. health and safety to all.

Silence in Hanover Close

This is my favorite so far of the Thomas Pitt series. I loved the ending. I absolutely never saw it coming.

Excellent

I think this is my very favorite so far. Investigation into an older death brings forth many questions and even Thomas finds himself in a bit of trouble. The ingenuity of the characters depth to act and gather information was truly brilliant.

Narration brought this excellent story alive and I could only sigh in relief at the end!

Exciting twisty plot, multiple suspects and Pitts

Loved it! The sisters were extraordinary, Pitt hits a terrible low, dubious suspects aplenty! A standout saga in the Pitt series.

Another great Pitt story

The story and narration were excellent. My only complaint was some poor audio editing. There were several places where the cuts were so sudden I though the recording had jumped and thought I might have missed something.

Great story and great series

I have enjoyed many books in this series. First time I've commented on one. I liked it. Good historical color. Honorable character. Believable.
