Publisher Description

Anne Perry, a Macavity Award nominee and Edgar Award winner, has received critical and popular acclaim for her stories set in 19th-century London. More than 15 million copies of Perry’s mesmerizing, historically accurate mysteries have been sold around the world.

The eminent Sir Lockwood Hamilton, a Member of Parliament, is murdered and his body is found on Westminster Bridge. Inspector Thomas Pitt and his wife Charlotte are just beginning to investigate when yet another Member of Parliament is murdered and discovered on the same bridge. The Pitts find one connection between the men—they both voted against female suffrage. Before another politician is killed, the Pitts must find the murderer among an assortment of angry suffragettes, anarchists, and scoundrels.

"Perry's Victorian-era mysteries are interesting as much for the insight into the English class system of the time as for the engaging characters and the original plot twists. This is one of several featuring a young woman of the upper class who marries a mere, lowly police detective. "

    " The murders are grisly and the book gives a good insight in to the social and political views of women's suffrage in Victorian England. But all in all the pace of the story becomes very slow towards the middle and picks up only towards the very end. "

    " Perry is a master of craft. So the story is the thing. I believe she left too many red herrings in this story and never tied them up successfully. And the murderer was unsatisfactory too. "
