About This Item
Synopsis
“A detailed period puzzler suffused with atmosphere, emotion, and suspense.”— Booklist “Pitt’s compassion and Charlotte’s cleverness make them compatible sleuths, as well as extremely congenial. . . . Perry has the great gift of making it all seem immediate and very much alive.”— The Philadelphia Inquirer “As usual, Anne Perry’s evocation of the Victorian scene—with its great disparity between rich and poor, pretense and reality—is excellent.”— The San Diego Union-Tribune “Perry brings the era to life not just by period detail, but with sure-handed characterization and compelling, timeless plot.”— Publishers Weekly “[A] rewarding series.”— The New York Times Book Review
