Book

Betrayal at Lisson Grove (2010)

This mystery kept me reading all the way to the end. It started with a fast-paced chase and even ended with action. It's a historical mystery set in 19th century London but travels to France and Ireland and back. There are multiple plots between Charlotte Pitt, her husband Thomas Pitt, and Victor...

Book

Acceptable Loss. by Anne Perry (2011)

Like all of the William Monk books, this was gripping from start to finish (except for the repetitious mental torment scenes that have always been the downside of Perry's novels for me). Perry writes atmosphere so well, the crimes are hideous, and Monk and Hester continue to be some of my favouri...

Book

Acceptable Loss (2011)

Ok, so it seems that I have made a mistake. It looks like "Acceptable Loss" is a continuation of "Execution Dock", which I have not read. What is more, "Acceptable Loss" is my first book ever by Anne Perry. Will there be more? A few weeks ago when I started I would have said: "never again"... It ...

Book

Midnight at Marble Arch. Anne Perry (2013)

Anne Perry is know for tackling some of the vilest, darkest subjects that occurred behind closed doors, out in the streets, and in the halls of government of Victorian London. This book was no exception. It actually is a bit different from the last few that Pitt and the others have investigated...

Book

Midnight at Marble Arch (2013)

Led on by Anne Perry’s latest Christmas novelette, which was a lot less verbiose and repetitive and just plain silly about clues and procedures than the previous one, I did read “A Christmas Hope.” Then, because I have always liked her main series characters, particularly the women, Charlotte Pit...

Midnight at Marble Arch (2013) by Anne Perry
Book

Treason at Lisson Grove (2010)

I love historical fiction, especially when there is real history behind it. This story is not based on a particular event, as far as I know, but the knowledge I gained reading 1848 helped me to understand the wild revolutionary ideas that were loose all over Europe in the period after those revo...

Treason at Lisson Grove (2010) by Anne Perry
Book

Lisson Grove (2010)

As always, I love the interaction and blending of social mores and the politics of the times. In this case, so much was happening with the spread of the socialist movement which finally reached England. The first part of the book deals with Monk until Charlotte gets involved and goes off with ...

Lisson Grove (2010) by Anne Perry
Book

Execution Dock (2009)

I find the whole thing rather depressing, no matter how well written. Enough with the sexual depravity already. I was dismayed to find the next in the series was just a continuation of the storyline in this book. I certainly don't deny it existed, but surely there is other interesting subject ...

Execution Dock (2009) by Anne Perry
Book

Justicia Ciega (2013)

William and Hester Monk investigate a preacher who averts funds from his congregation and throws many into dire poverty. As his trial unfolds, Judge Oliver Rathbone presides over the case. The Judge decides to play a wild card in the form of an inflammatory picture to save the day. He is jaile...

Blind Justice (2013) by Anne Perry
Book

Du sang sur la soie (2011)

I purchased this book hoping to read about a fresh, lush, complex Constantinople through the eyes of a woman clothed in layers of secrecy. I did not find it: the narrative was weak, jumping over all the delicious little "difficult" pieces of the main character's journey to emphasize discussions b...

Du sang sur la soie (2011) by Anne Perry
Book

The Sheen of Silk (2000)

Perry is a skilled storyteller masterfully weaving historical facts and cultural tradition into very readiable text. As the contributing sub-plots build. the reader is moved to think that the politics of greed and human behavior has not altered much since 1281. Found myself routing for the re...

The Sheen of Silk (2000) by Anne Perry
Book

The Sheen on the Silk (2010)

I think the concept was interesting, without giving too much away. Historical fiction is one of my favourite genres. I enjoyed reading it but I felt like the main character wasn't really the main character. So I wasn't really able to connect to the person who was supposed to be holding the story ...

Book

La Révélation de Noël (2006)

This is a small book and it only took me a day really to read it although I started it last night. I ended today around noon. The story is set in the year 1895 in Ireland. Although the story was interesting in itself, it ended leaving many questions unanswered. The main character, who had travell...

Book

Der Weihnachtsfluch (2006)

Book #6 in Anne Perry's Victorian Christmas mysteries. It is 1868, and Emily Radley is called away from the comforts of Christmas in London with her family, to attend her dying Aunt Susannah who lives in Connemara, on Ireland's west coast. Emily is reluctant to leave home, but with her husband's ...

A Christmas Grace (2006)

A Christmas Grace (2006) by Anne Perry
Book

Le Spectacle de Noël (2013)

This book is a clever riff on the "Dracula" plot by Bram Stoker, as well as an engaging murder mystery set in an isolated mansion, cut off by a snowstorm, amidst a theatrical company and a wealthy family. It is also centred on the sympathetic and engaging character of Caroline Fielding, the moth...

A Christmas Homecoming (2011)

In retrospect maybe reading this book in August wasn't the best idea, but in my defense, I had just just bought my first three Christmas presents and my thoughts were on the holidays. But, in truth, I think that my reaction to the book would have been the same if I had read it on Christmas Eve j...

A Christmas Homecoming (2011) by Anne Perry
Book

Der Weihnachtsverrat (2013)

As usual, Perry has produced a good, quick reading mystery, involving one of my favorite characters, Victor Narraway, as a young, newly posted lieutenant to Cawnpore. We have a slight introduction to frontier life in India and some aspects of military posting there. I gave this book 4 stars as ...

Book

Un noël plein d'espoir (2011)

Bon, soyons clairs, ce n'est pas le meilleur Anne Perry que j'ai lu. Comme toujours pour ses "spécial Noel", le héros du livre est un personnage secondaire de l'une de ses deux séries. Cette fois c'est l'ennemi intime de Monk qui s'y colle. Le début est très prometteur, notamment parce qu'il expl...

Un noël plein d'espoir (2011) by Anne Perry
Book

Das Weihnachtsversprechen (2010)

Another one of the best entries in this series--although the Cockney dialect may take a while for your mind's ear to "hear," the story is charming. It features Gracie Phelps from one of Perry's mystery series and the mysterious Mr. Balthasar, whom I'd like to read more about! The book also made m...

Book

A Christmas Odyssey. Anne Perry (2010)

An interesting plot about an unlikely band of strangers trying to find a prodigal son lost in the underworld of Victorian London. But it has very little to do with Christmas, aside from the dates of their search. And the tale itself is repetitive, dull and confusing, with an unfortunate focus o...

Book

L'odyssée de Noël (2010)

I love Anne Perry books, but this one felt disjointed. It's the second holiday book I've read with Rathbone as the lead character.It's a short book and I don't know if that's why it didn't feel developed? I couldn't get a fully developed mental picture while reading it, which I usually can.Most o...

The Face of a Stranger (2011)

After reading more than 1700 pages through the last two volumes, it was time to get away from Safehold, which must be thousands of years in the future, and the next-read mystery from the last century wasn’t enough, so I dipped into this Victorian mystery, scrounged from a hospital waiting room, a...

Ashworth Hall (1997)

Patron Review:This mystery is one of a series of Anne Perry's who-dunnits that features the Scotland Yard detective, Thomas Pitt, and his wife Charlotte.l Her mysteries are really interesting because they are, at the same time, historical novels that recreate life in late 19th and early 20th cen...

A Christmas Secret (2006)

I chose this book in my local library, partly because it was short(!) and partly because I had never read anything by Anne Perry.

Book

The Twisted Root (2000)

Anne Perry uses the cultural mores of the 18th century as the backdrop for her books, and in The Twisted Root the reader is delivered into a time when cultural taboos leave a woman ready to die rather than tell what she knows about three murders that she has been charged with committing. Even tho...

The Twisted Root (2000) by Anne Perry
Book

Slaves of Obsession (2001)

Slaves of Obsession is a frustrating book. Clearly a murder mystery (as are all in this series), the murderer proves to be the most likely suspect for me but not the villain I wanted it to be. To be sure, there is a certain poetic justice which occurs with regard to the one I consider a villain, ...

If you are an Anne Perry fan, then probably you'll enjoy this series, since the things that bugged me about it the most were characteristic of one of her other books (from the series with a husband and wife, IIRC).

A Sudden, Fearful Death (1994)

I have been “hooked” on Anne Perry novels for a good while now. There are a number of reasons for this addiction.

Thomas & Charlotte Pitt 29 - Death On Blackheath

She decided to write a letter to Emily asking if she would like to take luncheon and, if the weather permitted, to walk in Kew Gardens. Even if it were cold, the massive glasshouses filled with tropical plants would be warm, and a pleasant change from sitting inside. Emily wrote back immediately,...

Blind Justice: A William Monk Novel

Hester had discovered, to her surprise, that she was rather good at making it. Monk had told Hester about the commissioner’s warning. He would much rather not have, but if she did not know, it was much more likely that she might make some slip that would eventually get back to the commissioner. T...

Cater Street Hangman

It had not been easy because although there were plenty of girls seeking a good position, many of them were unskilled, and many had reputations and references that were less than satisfactory. And, of course, since Lily’s death and the manner of it were known, it was not the most pleasing prospec...

Traitors Gate

He was looking forward to putting the whole matter out of his mind for a space, and sitting in the parlor with his feet up and the doors to the garden open to let in the late spring evening air. It was fine and balmy, the sort of day when the smells of the earth linger heavily and overtake the aw...

Brunswick Gardens (2010)

It must be sensitive, and urgent, or Cornwallis would not have sent for him by telephone. Since his promotion to command of the Bow Street station Pitt had not involved himself in cases personally unless they threatened to be embarrassing to someone of importance, or else politically dangerous, s...

A Breach of Promise

He and Monk had gone immediately to Melville’s lodgings, where Isaac Wolff, gray-faced, had met them at the door. There had been nothing anyone could do to help. He had called a doctor, who had assumed death to have been caused by some form of poison and had guessed belladonna, but it would requi...

Corridors of the Night (2015)

It was a handsome and cultured city, but Scottish law was different from English, and always had been, and he found testifying – albeit as an expert witness on an old case – to be somewhat testing of both his skill and his memory.     He had taken a short holiday afterwards in...

The Silent Cry

He was a young man whose lack of self-control, first of his appetites, then of his temper, had led him from rape to the situation of murder which he now faced.     Curiously, it was the beatings for which Monk could not forgive him.     They, of all the cri...

Treachery at Lancaster Gate (2016)

There was tea on a tray on the carved cherrywood table, and small sandwiches of white bread, with wafer-thin slices of cucumber from the glasshouse. She stared at her sister, Charlotte. “Oh dear,” she said quietly. “Yes, I do know Cecily Duncannon, but not very well.” “Then please get to know her...

One Thing More

It cost her dearly because she felt self-conscious and foolish, but it was the only one she could think of which was ordinary and common to all. ‘A lover!’ Amandine said with a smile, looking up from peeling vegetables. Célie’s mind flew to Georges, for no reason at all, and she felt the heat bur...

The Scroll

In the antiquarian bookshop well away from the High Street in Cambridge, Monty Danforth sat in his room at the back, working on unpacking and cataloguing the books and papers from the last crate of the Greville Estate. Most of it was exactly what he would have expected: the entire works of Dicken...

A Christmas Promise (2009)

Gracie got up early, before anyone else was awake, and crept into the kitchen, where she cleared out the stove, and tipped the ashes on the path outside to help people from slipping on the hard, pale ice. Then she laid the wood and lit the new fire. She balanced the sticks carefully and blew a li...

Buckingham Palace Gardens

He wrote a brief message on a card, saying that he wished to consult on a matter of the most extreme urgency, and asked one of the junior clerks to take it to Somerset Carlisle, wherever he might be. Then he waited, pacing the floor, glancing every few moments at each doorway of the vast antecham...

Dorchester Terrace (2012)

Pitt said he had asked the doctor to keep his own counsel regarding the conclusion that her death could not have been accidental. He said he had given the doctor his word that the death would not be investigated by the police, but by Special Branch, because of its possible connection with a curre...

The Angel Court Affair (Thomas Pitt 30)

After seventeen years of marriage she thought she knew him well, and herself even better. But most of the remarks the woman had made, and perhaps even more the burning conviction with which she had spoken, awoke in Charlotte too many awkward questions. Why had she never examined her own thoughts ...

A New York Christmas (2014)

She had chosen different clothes from the ones she’d had on when she was here with Harley, and she’d pinned her hair up in as different a style as it would take. She had planned what to say. She was less than satisfied with it, but all the alternatives she could think of were even worse. It was a...

A Christmas Escape (2015)

The mountain rose sharply, as symmetrical and uncomplicated as a child’s drawing. The sky above was midwinter blue. At home in England they would be expecting snow at this time in December, but here, so close to Sicily, the wind off the salt water was mild. The small boat barely rocked. He had be...

The Dark Assassin

She packed up Rose's borrowed clothes and returned them. Her army experiences had taught her something of the suffering incurred after overindulgence in alcohol, and she knew how to minister to those afflicted. She spent several hours doing what she could for Rose, to both her and her husband's i...

Revenge in a Cold River (2016)

Not a breath of wind stirred the surface. The only movement was the occasional wash of a boat going up or downstream, all but silently. The voices of lightermen calling to one another echoed, and the splash of an oar could be heard. Now and then a water bird dived for a fish. It broke the smooth ...
