Praise for Anne Perry’s
Charlotte and Thomas Pitt
mysteries
BELGRAVE SQUARE
“So pulsates with the sights and sounds of Victorian London that the reader soon gets caught up in Anne Perry’s picaresque story of life, love, and murder that involves both the upper and lower classes of that colorful era.”
HIGHGATE RISE
“When it comes to the Victorian mystery, Anne Perry has proved that nobody does it better. Once again, her recreation of its manners and morality, fashions and foibles is masterful.”
BETHLEHEM ROAD
“Perry once again demonstrates her true and lively passion…. Her finely drawn characters couldn’t be more comfortable within the customs and sensibility of their historical period.”
SILENCE IN HANOVER CLOSE
“[A] complex, gripping and highly satisfying mystery … An adroit blend of thick London atmosphere and a convincing cast … A totally surprising yet wonderfully plausible finale.”
