Praise for Anne Perry: Pulls no punches and depicts Victorian London in all its corrupt glory
[A] suspenseful, twisting narrative
Anne Perry has once again evocatively and meticulously conjured up Victorian London... This is one of her best as she continues probing... the dark impulses that haunt all human souls
[Perry's] early-Victorian series... has deepened and darkened its insights into the social evils that burdened London's underclasses
Anne Perry's creation of William Monk, the nineteenth-century private investigator, has proved a welcome and original addition to the crime fiction genre... stylish and highly-individual murder mystery
Her Victorian England pulsates with life and is peopled with wonderfully memorable characters
When it comes to the Victorian mystery, Anne Perry has proved that nobody does it better
Perry has a wonderful feel for period and remains utterly convincing
The period detail remains fascinating, and [Perry's] grasp of Victorian character and conscience still astonishes
With a steady hand at dissecting character and motivation, a keen grasp of social history and a flair for description of Victorian London, Perry guarantees a good read to those who like their murder in a believable historical and psychological context
