" I listened to this and it was like most of anne perry's books very well written and great period piece! I'd forgotten much about Monk's character and should read some of those books I've not read between now in this series. "

" This book was not my favorite of Anne Perry's. Generally I love every book she writes but the subject of this book (the child sex trade in Victorian England) is very depressing. It's not Perry's fault but I found this book to be both enlightening and sad. "

" I think I may have enjoyed this book more if I had read the one before it. It seemed this story was a sort of continuation of that one. It was easy to catch on and get up to speed. What I like about Monk is that he changes quite a bit throughout the series and you continue to see that here. "
