Publisher Description

When the body of a boy is found in the filthy sewers of Bluegate Fields, Inspector Pitt is called to investigate. The boy was clearly upper class, so what was he doing in one of London's most dangerous slums? The boy's parents refuse to answer police queries. What are these proper, prosperous people hiding? With the help of his wife and helpmate, Charlotte, Inspector Pitt intends to find out.

"I kind of missed the "original" format - this one was a bit different. Easier to keep the characters straight, but harder to solve! Also, I don't get why "Albie Frobisher" had an appropriate name for his occupation. Must be a dialect thing."

    " Not my favorite in the Pitt series, maybe because I figured out who did it before Charlotte or Thomas did or because of the subject matter, but still an interesting, very well-researched look at Victorian society. "

    " Like all Anne Perry's books, this is very well-written and convincing. Her descriptions are compelling and "life-like" - even the corpses. She really knows how to put you off your tuna melt, so it may be best not to read this over lunch! "

  • Overall Performance: 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5

    " This is another great mystery from Anne Perry! I liked how there is a 2nd story line involving the women of society to abolish child prostitution. "

    " This was a particularly good book from the Thomas Pitt series by Anne Perry. Not easy to figure out and the conclusion was very satisfying. "

    " A satisfying read from start to the grisly end. Was a little two easy to guess who the real killer was myself, though. "

    " Perry did a good job with such a sensitive subject, but the beginning was so slow, I thought it was only just ok. "

    " This was not one of the stronger entries in the series. It felt like the author couldn't figure out how to solve it and so let outside events solve it for her. I do not like this kind of solution and lowered my rating of the book appropriately. "

  • Overall Performance: 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5

    " I have liked all the books in this series thus far. This ones content was a little more disturbing and therefore I did not enjoy the read as much as the others. "

  • Overall Performance: 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5

    " This was an okay listen. Mostly I finished it because it's narrated by one of my favorite narrators, Davina Porter. I am not as fond of the Thomas and Charlotte Pitt series as I am of Anne Perry's other. "

    — Vickie, 3/27/2013
  • Overall Performance: 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5

    " This did not have the usual push and mystery that Anne Perry is so famous for. It did reveal more seedy information of the Victorian area which tragicly still goes on today. "

    " Just finished listening to this story this morning, loved it! I think the Pitt series is by far my favorite. I do like Monk but I wish things could get better for him. "

    " This one will keep you guessing who did it until the end. Justice sometimes isn't satisifed however... "

    " I think this is my least favorite Charlotte/thomasPitt book. I find the crime depressing, the fact that the wrong guy is convicted and sentenced to death depressing, and the wrap-up too pat. There wasn't enough time spent on why Esmond, why the shooting, and what happened after. "

    " This is the first Inspector Pitt book I have read. The murder plot was interesting. Pitt's wife Charlotte had great insite that helped him solve the murder. The end was quick and unexpected. "

    " An unsavory topic--child prostitution. But because it's set in the late 1800's, it's handled very delicately. "
