Length: 9 hrs and 12 mins

Publisher's summary

The second thrilling mystery in an exciting new generation of Pitt novels, from the New York Times best-selling author and queen of Victorian crime, Anne Perry.

"Anne Perry's Victorian mysteries are marvels of plot construction" (New York Times).

Daniel Pitt is delighted that his sister is visiting London with her American husband Patrick, a policeman, and their young daughter. But Patrick's trip has another purpose, for which he enlists Daniel's help. Philip Sydney, a young British diplomat, is accused of robbery and assault in Washington, but he has taken diplomatic immunity and fled to England. The perfect opportunity to obtain justice presents itself when Sydney is accused of a small embezzlement at the British Embassy in the USA, but as Daniel digs deeper into the case it becomes clear that vengeance is involved.

When a witness is murdered in America suspicion of guilt falls on Sydney. But is somebody trying to frame him? And, if so, who and why? Daniel follows a trail that uncovers another murder, and leads from Washington to the idyllic Channel Islands, then to a dramatic scene in court that almost defies belief....

New Daniel Pitt series

The story was a little slow to start, but became quite interesting about half way through - worth reading.

I am used Davina Porter narrating the Thomas Pitt series. While Samuel Roukin has great skill with simulating American and American-Irish accents, he doesn’t act out the parts as well as Ms. Porter.

Captivating story with an enjoyable narration.

One of my favorite Anne Perry series. Triple Jeopardy has many twists and turns that keeps you guessing. The narration is excellent, done with character that adds to the story.

Very good but not great

First the positive: excellent narration. Pleasing voice. Good characterizations. Made me feel that I could easily visualize the settings.
Secondly, I don’t really have any true negatives. I thought there was a bit too much redundancy in the descriptions of the situations, and I would have liked a less abrupt ending. I thought a few loose ends could have been tied up. All that being said, I enjoy Ann Perry’s books and will await the next Daniel Pitt story.

Love this

Ann Perry hides the truth until the very end. I don’t like how sudden the end comes

captivating

a little bit slow to start but captivating from then on. I've Loved all of Ann Perry's books.

It was enjoyable.

Usually a reader/performer uses different voices for the different characters. There were times listening to this book where I had no idea who was talking because the characters all sounded so similar. Otherwise it was a good story.

the pitt family triumphs again

daniel is a nice addition to the Pitt family. Will be interesting to watch him mature.

Excellent

I loved the Thomas and Charlotte Pitt novels so I was glad they were able to play a part in this novel. The actual mystery was fantastic. It looked bleak for Daniel Pitt's client but comes to a satisfying end. I look forward to her next novel.

Love the Daniel Pitt series

This book was riveting. Kept my attention through, no lulls. Can’t wait for next installment!

Unexpectedly Good

I'd never heard of this author but since this book was on a special sell I decided to give it a listen. I'm glad thar I did as it was interesting with great characters, and an engaging plot. Now, as this book is #2 in the series, I have to go back and start at book #1!
The narrator, Samuel Roukin, was clear, giving the right amount of timely emphasis.
I read entire book in one day, so I cannot wait to read the other books in this series. It is always a great day when you find a new (to you) author that can write a great suspense tale!
