"I liked where this one went and some of the lively characters. The very end is as usual a shock and disturbing. A rare one where one of the guilty get away with it. But I wouldn't have the heart to convict them either. "
— Tim (4 out of 5 stars)

" Thomas and Charlotte are at it again. However this time Charlottes mother is the initiator when she asks Charlotte to investigate the loss of a locket with an embarassing picture in it. However as they invesigate the story as always takes twists and turns between the classes. The whole affair comes into the Ellison family neighborhood. Knowing the ending I wonder if I should have seen the writing on the wall. Did she telegraph the ending? "

" This is the first book I have read by Anne Perry. Set in the Victorian era where a husband and wife dective team set out to solve a murder. This was just ok with a plot that was very predictable.... "
— Claudia, 12/6/2013 -
" i think this was the 4th one in the series, or maybe the 5th. I finally figured out 'who done it' even if I only got it half right. Loving these books, started the next one (blue gate fields) today. "
— Elise, 11/27/2013 -
