Death of a Stranger Audiobook

" I like mysteries that include lots of local color, and Anne Perry's William Monk novels are set in Victorian England. "

" One of Anne Perry's best books. She isn't afraid to take on unpopular topics of the Victorian Age. As usual I didn't see the ending coming. Good to finally learn about Monk's past. "

" I really like Hester and Monk, and their passion for the truth. "

" For the prostitutes of Leather Lane, Nurse Hester Monk's clinic is a lifeline, providing medicine, food, and a modicum of peace, especially welcome since lately their ailments have escalated from bruises and fevers to broken bones and knife wounds. At the moment, however, the mysterious death of a railway magnate Nolan Baltimore in a sleazy neighborhood brothel overshadows all else. Whether he fell of was pushed, the shocking question in everyone's mind is" What was such a pillar of respectability doing in a seedy place of sin? "

" This book had its slow moments but definitely picked up speed (quite literally!) at the end. "

" I love Anne Perry's deep insight into character and all that I learn about Victorian social issues and everyday life. The plot, however, is incredible and way too complex. I am also heartily sick of Monk almost remembering things. Amnesia has been played out over many seasons, not just a few games. "

" I liked this one better than the first Ann Perry I read. Maybe I just knew more what to expect. "

" Mostly boring. Read about 100 pages then skipped to the last three chapters. Didn't miss a thing. "

" Very good mystery! While not a book I couldn't put down, it was very good and kept me guessing. Many surprises and unexpected twists and turns. The ending was suspenseful but rather abrupt. "

" Another good book by anne perry, kept me guessing about the killer till the very end. So glad I didn't live in london back then. "

" As always Anne Perry doesn't disappoint and keeps you hanging on til the very end. This story provides some additional background to William Monk's earlier life and the pieces of his personal puzzle start to fall in place. "

" Eh. . .kind of average for this series. "

" It was so-so. These last few books have not been nearly as good as the first half-dozen or so. "

" I like a mystery, I just finished this today, I enjoyed it in that it answered a lot of questions in the main characters past. A great read! "

" Book Club June 2008 "

" This was my first book back into the William Monk novels (I had taken a few years off) and it was nice to see him reach a measure of peace with his past. I also like the depiction of Monk and Hester's relationship. "

" Not as good as the other Monk book I read. "

" Monk investigates a case of fraud in the new railway line and subsequently the death of a railway magnate. While investigating, Monk recalls incidents from his past and slowly regains his memory. "

" The historical accurancy and the complexity of her characters keeps me enthralle. "

" This has been my least favorite of the series so far. I couldn't get into the plot, and I pushed forward, hoping the next in the series will be better. "

" My favorite Anne Perry book so far. Learned a lot about railroads. Very fast-paced and certainly kept my attention. "

" Liked the book very much. Anne Perry is such an accomplished writer and develops her story so thoroughly; makes it difficult to put a book down once started. "

" The first half of the book is more like 2.5 stars, but by the end, I was engrossed and in awe of how Perry could tie all of those loose ends together. Finally, a better view of the man Monk was! "

" Excellent. One of the best Monk books. "

" It was OK, not bad but not great either. Too much train talk in my opinion and not so much mystery. I have to say I enjoyed more reading Ms. Monk's activities than his husband's, who is the main character! "
