"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."

Bluegate Fields Listener Reviews
-
" 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. "
— Joan, 1/28/2014 -
" 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! "
— Mrsdarcy, 1/27/2014 -
" 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. "
— Tweek, 1/25/2014 -
" 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. "
— Chery, 1/24/2014 -
" Another fun mystery from Anne Perry. Love the Victorian setting. "
— Pam, 1/13/2014 -
" A satisfying read from start to the grisly end. Was a little two easy to guess who the real killer was myself, though. "
— Sharon, 1/12/2014 -
" Book #6 in the series: love this series. Entertaining as usual. "
— Tori, 1/8/2014 -
" Perry did a good job with such a sensitive subject, but the beginning was so slow, I thought it was only just ok. "
— Kel, 11/21/2013 -
" This was rather boring for a Anne Perry to write. "
— Jeanette, 11/20/2013 -
" 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. "
— Jim, 10/27/2013 -
" 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. "
