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.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 290
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.

Publisher's Summary
From the "grand duchess" of British mysteries, the 22nd installment of the New York Times best-selling William Monk series.
Commander William Monk has learned to live with the fact that he cannot remember the events of his life prior to a horrific carriage accident years ago. But when a ghost from his past, a man he has no recollection of, attempts to frame him for a series of murders, he must rely on the help of his wife, Hester, and his close friend, Oliver Rathbone, in order to free himself - from both the charges and the demons that have haunted him since the accident.

Engaging
It is hard to believe but this is the 22nd book in the Monk series. William Monk is Commander of the Thames River Police. Years ago, when Monk was a London police detective, he was in a carriage accident and developed total amnesia. Custom Officer McNab has a grudge against Monk but he cannot remember why. Two prisoners escape from Customs, one is killed and the other gets away. The officer pursing him drowns while fighting with Monk in the River. McNab claims Monk killed him deliberately. Monk must find out why he is being framed before he ends up hung.
The story is well written and the history and customs of the 1860s is meticulously researched. The character development of the key people, Monk, Hester and Attorney Oliver Rathbone, continues in each book. The courtroom scene is true to the period and most exciting. The suspense builds throughout the story. Perry’s descriptions of life in London and on the Thames, brings the 1860s to life. Hester is my favorite character but she only has a minor role in this book. Perry is a master story teller and also of historical fiction of the Victorian age. I cannot wait for the next book to be released.
David Colacci does an excellent job narrating the book. Colacci has narrated many of the books in the series. Colacci is an actor, director and multi-award winning audiobook narrator.

Super series but....
Not A.P.'s best. Could have been much, much shorter. Story went on and on. Fine in the end but it took a long time getting there.

Anne Perry Strikes Again!
I have never met an Anne Perry book I didn't like. Revenge in a Cold River was a book I couldn't put down. I m so glad it is on Audiobooks so I can cook, or clean or drive, etc. while listening. Thank you for the Audio choice in books!

With every whale bone creak......
...........you know it's Anne Perry - no one like her. I am a little teary to sense that this series may be winding down. It has been artfully managed and paced. Books 7-9 were the low point for me, but before and since each adventure has been a great ride. Thanks to Ms. Perry for Esther, William, Oliver, and all the other wonderful characters she's created.

Excellent Book
The story is rich in characterization and for followers of the Monk series, it is satisfying to see the maturation of the main characters as they move to happier, stable places in their lives.

Not one of the best
Would you try another book from Anne Perry and/or David Colacci?
Any additional comments?
Disappointing effort by Anne Perry. Book is over long, especially for those who have read all the other books in the Hester and William Monk series. Poor plotting and over-reliance on internal monologues.
Reading performance very, very good.

Good But Not the Best Monk
I enjoy Perry's Monk books and I enjoyed this one. However, it lacked the enthralling drama of most of the others. Still worth the listening...

Revenge in a Cold River
I have enjoyed the "Monk" series by Anne Perry, but the last two books are disappointing. I listened to both on the :FAsT" speed of my MP3 as the narrator was so slow/dreary; too much melodrama, too long, too repetitive, w/out sufficient plot. Hope the author's next Monk installment is improved.

Annoying narration of great story.
I'm afraid this narrator should not be doing anything with an English accent. I have heard his other work and enjoyed it very much, but his English accent is inaccurate and annoying, and that, coupled with a sort of pompous speech rhythm that I think he thinks is English, nearly ruined my enjoyment of this book. It really took a lot of concentration to ignore it. That said, this is another great story of William Monk and his colleagues and friends, with another great courtroom drama at its climax. The early books in the series are perhaps more psychologically satisfying, but I still Love knowing about the further adventures of these characters.
