5.0�toiles sur 5 it's my favorite book of the Pitt series so far, Sep 27 2003

Par Un client

This review is from: Belgrave Square (Mass Market Paperback)

I've read the 11 "Pitt" books prior to this, but I enjoyed this the most.
Some thoughts:
-It's not necessary to have read previous books in the series to find one's way around the characters and setting.
-The book is populated with interesting characters.
-Our friend Micah Drummond also plays a noteworthy expanded role.
-Most important for a mystery like this, the ending needs to be satisfying. And did I love this ending! (No peeking!)

This review is from: Belgrave Square (Mass Market Paperback)

This is another installment in the Thomas and Charlotte Pitt series. I've read most of them and always find them entertaining and enjoyable. As with most series, the characters become familiar and the development of their lives from story to story is a large part of of what makes these books fun to read. Beyond that, the books are also good period pieces. Perry's exploration of social mores and class barriers is well done. Her weakness is that her plots are often somewhat transparent. BELGRAVE SQUARE is no exception. For me, the "hidden relationship" that lies at the core of this mystery was pretty clear long before the end. The final scene was dramatic, but the relationship thus exposed was long anticipated.

Perry's tales are, in general, fun to read and BELGRAVE SQUARE is a solid entry in the Pitt series. Her characters are engaging and her handling of the social and historical background are very competent. Her plot, too, is sufficiently involved to hold the readers interest. All in all, another good effort and I recommend it. My only caution is that, if you're looking for a really baffling whodunit, this might not be it.

This review is from: Belgrave Square (Mass Market Paperback)

Fromthe beginning of pitts involvement by his superior,to the
finding of weems the usrer the inner cicle is involved there is just enough clues and hints that go much deeper and which makes
reader to continue on to the next chapter knowing that all will be revealed with a bit of sluething of ones own.
