Publisher Description

The Cater Street Hangman is the first of Anne Perry's Charlotte and Thomas Pitt mysteries. Set in the Victorian era, it is an elegant and complex mystery full of well-drawn characters and rich period detail. When a maid in the upper class Ellison household is strangled, Inspector Pitt is called in to investigate. He finds a world ruled by strict manners and social customs, where the inhabitants of the Ellison's neighborhood appear to be more outraged by the thought of scandal than they are by murder. Inspector Pitt finds a most unlikely ally in Charlotte, the Ellison's spirited daughter. But as the murders continue, Charlotte and Pitt find themselves drawn together by more than the investigation.

"The Cater Street Hangman is the first in Anne Perry's Charlotte and Thomas Pitt series, and the best. It has interesting characters and an intriguing plot (despite unrealistic twists and turns). I enjoy the historical details in this series and in Perry's William Monk series. "

    " Anne Perry effectively writes within the context of Victorian England. I like stepping into another day and time. This is a quick and light read. I am going to look for the A&E movie. "

    " The case itself is okay though I think it becomes easy to guess who dun it. Most problematic though is the romance part. It's a bit too abrupt. "

    " If you love mysteries this is great! I really didn't know 'who dunnit' until the last page. This is the first book of the Charlotte Pitt series. Highly recommend the entire series. "

    " Great quick read for entertainment, but lacked the character development that I enjoy most in books. Also, the storyline felt choppy and the ending abrupt to me. "

    " Good book-I give it a 3.5 star rating. The ending was not what I expected and I think that is why I gave it a 4. I did find myself growing sleepy every couple of pages when reading it; however, it was easy to pick right back up in the story. "

    " Excellent if you want an intriguing mystery novel that requires you to think about the people to whom crime happens. Some mystery novels focus on the detective or police team and their personalities. This book was from the victim's sister's point of view. Made me think a bit. "
