“A DILLY …
worthy of any London
‘yellow sheet.’ ”
“Jolly good …
“Anne Perry’s genius is apparent in depicting the manners and mores of Victorian London…. Perry brings it to vibrant life with absorbing reality that forces us to ponder just how much progress we’ve made in the past century.”
“Splendidly plotted … [THE HYDE PARK HEADSMAN] explores the nature of power while adding detail and color to Perry’s ever more elaborate tapestry of late-nineteenth-century London life.”
“Well done … Perry’s books inevitably have an abundance of history, suspense and psychology…. [THE HYDE PARK HEADSMAN] promises the same plausibility, effective timing, character development and evocative atmosphere readers have come to expect from Anne Perry.”
