Cardington Crescent Audiobook

" A Victorian murder mystery. "

" Ann Perry always paints a detailed and interesting portrait of life in Victorian England. This particular story, however, I did not find as compelling as some of her other novels. I always look forward to another Ann Perry mystery, and I must say that I did continue reading avidly to find out what was the answer to all the who-done-it question, but in the end, it was not as satisfying a read as I had anticipated. Of course, I would still recommend this book to those who enjoy a good Ann Perry novel. "

" Nice book to listen to, very similar to the other Charlotte and Thomas Pitt books by Anne Perry. "

" Another great Anne Perry mystery. I thought it ended a little abruptly, but overall a good read. "

" Fun read, appealing characters, ending a bit rushed. "

" Book #8 in the series: Emily's husband is poisoned. I felt sorry for the dog. What kind of moron gives coffee to a dog? "

" Great in its genre (cozy mystery). "

" One has to wonder if there isn't anyone she won't kill off in this series... "

" I wish I had read this later as the characters would make more sense. I have just started Callender Square and it is introducing people who were killed in this book. I will try and read these in order. "

" This one kept me up late finishing it and it was really really good, but the ending, the "why", was not spelled out exactly and left me a little confused. "

" Anne Perry's books are a good read. I enjoy the story and the characters. I did not figure out the murderer at all before finishing the book. "

" I am a big fan of Ann Perry and the picture she paints of life in Victorian era England with such vivid descriptions of class distinctions. I have read most of the Hester and Monk books and prefer them to the Charlotte and Pitt books. This one was not a favorites. "

" Too much filler. I got so tired of hearing the same whodunit theories over and over ad nauseum. The ending was too abrupt, the killer's motive too unlikely. I really wanted to like this one but the padding drove me nuts. "

" Excellent another good read from Anne Perry. For me it's not so much the story as the characters who I love to read about and follow from story to story. Highly recommended to those who like period mysteries and want an easy read too. "

" Eighth book in the Thomas and Charlotte Pitt series -- this one involves Charlotte's sister, Emily. "

" Maybe 2.5 stars. I usually like Anne Perry because there aren't any gruesome parts to her books, but this one had several gross things in it that I could've done without. There were a few parts of the book that I did like, but overall it's not one that I would recommend to anybody else. "

" Another well-written Victorian mystery by a period master. I enjoy her period atmosphere. "

" Good, like all of hers. A historical murder mystery--I know I can always grab one and have a good read. I enjoy the Charlotte & Thomas Pitt ones more than the Monk ones. "

" Great to listen to (Davina Porter is a wonderful "reader"). There are rather long stretches where not a lot happens, but I don't mind because the pictures Anne Perry paints of late-Victorian society are so detailed/brilliant that I'm absorbed in the atmosphere. "

" I just finished this book and I don't get the end? Maybe it is just so dull an end I think there must be more to it. "

" Thoroughly enjoyed this installment of Charlotte & Thomas Pitt but have to wonder at Charlotte's family experiencing yet another death in the family due to murder. Very unlucky and very unlikely. Still, it was a great read. "

" Good, like all of hers. A historical murder mystery--I know I can always grab one and have a good read. I enjoy the Charlotte & Thomas Pitt ones more than the Monk ones. "

" Pretty good.... but I am unsatisfied with justice and that catch-22 situation or whatever that was in the end. :/ those two old people were retched indeed! "
