Dark Assassin Audiobook

" Well written but moved a little slowly. "

" I found this one much longer-seeming than her others and rather tedious. "

" Detective Monk goes into the London sewers to solve two murders. The description of building the sewers makes one really appreciate the efforts that went into creating them in 1865. Good book and educational along the way. "

" I always like Anne Perry's books - historical mysteries. This is her Inspector Monk series; her characters are almost always interesting and believable. "

" I've enjoyed all of Anne Perry's books, but as I have a particular interest in caves, tunnels, archaeology, and all things underground, this is definitely one of my favourites! I read 'Neverwhere' by Neil Gaiman recently, and this just coincided with it so well. "

" moving to the River was a good new direction for Monk. I devoured it over the holidays and really really enjoyed it. "

" Meh. I think I liked it better when Monk and Hester fought all of the time. "

" Not my favorite, but I liked it and would recommend it. "

" Another great historical mystery by Anne Perry. "

" First sentence, "Waterloo bridge loomed in the distance as William Monk settled himself more comfortably in the bow of the police boat." "

" She's one of my favorite mystery-writing authors. "

" I lost interest in this book. It didn't have enough to keep me going. Also I found I was missing a lot of back story, not having read any of the others in the series. "

" This book was not one you can just skim. Anne Perry is one of the finest Victorian writers I have found. "

" I have read 2 of her series from beginning to end. I like her style and the different setting for her stories. "

" Each book in this series is better than the last! But to really enjoy the books, you really need to read them in order. So much of Perry's talent lies in her ability to show a growth in her characters and their relationships with each other. Just wonderful! "

" an entertaining airplane read "

" You can read my thoughts here. "

" Couldn't get through it and I usually like Anne Perry. Boring. "

" Good book. A total surprising & suspenceful ending. "

" I have read several of Anne Perry's books and have enjoyed them all until this one. Three stars because of the history of the "world beneath the city" in Victorian London. Too many references to Hester's nursing and Monk's amnesia. "

" Oooooh! Good Book! Especially evil villans and a sort of "League of Extrordinary Gentlemen" group of heros. "

" off to a good start... "

" I like the Monk series of Anne Perry. I put each book down hoping there is a next one. "

" This was a bit confusing but I loved the "family" between Monk, Hester and Scuff. They just melted my heart... "

" Liked the shivery descriptions of dank, cold, dark wintry London, and it was interesting to find out more about the tunnels underneath London, but the suspense was bland. Monk and Hester were a bit wooden too; seems like you would have had to read the earlier novels to understand them here. "

" An interesting tail in history, regarding London in the 1860's. It was a bit stop & go, though, and the end was rather anticlimactic. "

" First sentence, "Waterloo bridge loomed in the distance as William Monk settled himself more comfortably in the bow of the police boat." "

" This is my first Anne Perry Book. I enjoyed this quite a bit. I really liked the characters, Hester and Monk and the picture Perry paints of Victorian England. Not quite the story book scene. Definitely like Dickens might have seen it. Good story. "

" I have read 2 of her series from beginning to end. I like her style and the different setting for her stories. "

" Liked the shivery descriptions of dank, cold, dark wintry London, and it was interesting to find out more about the tunnels underneath London, but the suspense was bland. Monk and Hester were a bit wooden too; seems like you would have had to read the earlier novels to understand them here. "

" I've read lots of Anne Perry mysteries, her examples of strong (and curious) women in Victorian England, and especially enjoy this William Monk series. The first book is the series is The Face of a Stranger. "

" I LOVED the first 5 books of this series. Reading this one meant I skipped to number 14 or 15. I missed so much in the middle that the characters have changed and I don't like them as well now. Catching up is difficult. It's hard to find these on tape or MP3. "
