"What I liked about this book is that the secondary main characters were the some of the same from a previous book. What I didn't like was that there was no reference to change in the primary main characters (Thomas & Charlotte). They could have been from one book ago or five books ago and I like for series characters to evolve a bit. What I like about this series in general is the mystery isn't resolved until almost the very last page."

    " This is the seventh book in Perry's Victorian mystery series featuring Inspector Thomas Pitt and his wife, Charlotte. I really like this series and this is a decent installment, but not my favorite by any means. The killer is revealed a little too quickly at the end of the book without much evidence pointing to them. There's a lot of detective work, but I would've appreciated more clues actually leading a path to the resolutio, if that makes any sense. Perry's characters and Victorian London setting are vivid as always, though, and I do love her writing style. "

    " One of Perry's best. Good mystery and took place in the best and worst areas of London. She does a excellent job of capturing the details of the Victorian era and the lives of upper, middle and lower classes. "
