Product Description

Product Description

"Give her a good murder and a shameful social evil, and Anne Perry can write a Victorian mystery that would make Dickens's eyes pop."
NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW
When a doctor is found brutally murdered, even the neighborhood's most hardened residents are stunned. But three more bodies are found, killed the same inexpert way, and Inspector Thomas Pitt and his wife Charlotte race against time to find the killer, as a treacherous mystery unfolds. No one, not the lowest brand of ruffian or the most established aristocrat, will come out unscathed.... --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.


Ingram

Violent crime was hardly rare in the slums of London in 1887. But sexual mutilations was--and Inspector Pitt was shocked to find four men so murdered. With his wife Charlotte, he pursued clues from the depths of the slums to the heights of high society. HC: St. Martin's. --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Dark and moody., May 31 2003
By MLPlayfair (Ravenna, OH) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Death in the Devil's Acre (Mass Market Paperback)
This is the 7th in the Charlotte and Thomas Pitt series. It starts off in the year 1887 with an interesting premise, and it moves steadily toward an exciting finish. The character of Thomas is more likable than last time, and his wife Charlotte, who doesn't have much to do in the first part of the book, becomes very active later, as does her sister Emily. And there are characters brought back from previous books. Along the way, because of Charlotte's unusual social circumstances and Thomas's profession, we learn some fascinating insights into the class system of that time and place.

The author is consistent in her ability to create a sense of place and character. In DEATH IN THE DEVIL'S ACRE the atmosphere is dark and moody, with a very unpleasant topic. But the book is well done and adds to the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars There's nothing like a night on the town in old London . . ., Mar 28 2003
By Michael K. Smith (Gonzales, Louisiana) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Death in the Devil's Acre (Mass Market Paperback)
In this seventh novel in the Charlotte and Thomas Pitt high Victorian mystery series, we leave the exclusive circles of high London society for the brothels and slums, where first a seemingly respectable doctor and then Max, the blackmailing footman from CALLANDER SQUARE, are not only murdered but mutilated -- and then a third murder brings into play Charlotte's connections with London's drawing room society. Perry does a good job in this one, especially in delineating the characters of those whose existence middle class London would rather know about.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gruesome killings and great detective work!!!, Jul 20 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Death in the Devil's Acre (Mass Market Paperback)
Death in Devil's Acre was filled with completely disgusting mutilations and odd killings;skills no ordinary killer would ever obtain.Ordinary he wasn't either.Anne Perry brilliantly achieved the skills of a great writer and put much creativity and hard work into this book.You'll never be able to put it down! The detective work was incredible and the murders were beyond belief!
