Product Details


Product Description

From Library Journal

Residents of Paragon Walk tighten their lips when Inspector Pitt begins his investigation after young Fannie Nash is murdered. In the third in Perry's Victorian crime series, Pitt's wife, Charlotte, collects the inside line on Paragon Walk's society with the help of her sister, Emily, Lady Ashworth, a Walk resident. If descriptions of apparel made character, these ladies would come alive; the timbre of Davina Porter's narration fits these people like afternoon tea. Fans of the British cozy might have the patience for this one; others may pass. Sandy Glover, West Linn P.L., OR

Product Description

"Perry has the great gift of making it all seem immediate and very much alive."
THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER
In the posh London street of Paragon Walk, a young woman is brutally raped and murdered. Once again the incomparable team of sleuths, Inspector Thomas Pitt and his young wife, Charlotte, peer beneath the elegant masks of the well-born suspects and reveal that something ugly lurks behind the handsome facades of Paragon Walk--something that could lead to more scandal, and more murder.... --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Not quite as good as the first two, but . . ., Mars 27 2003
Par Michael K. Smith (Gonzales, Louisiana) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
Murder strikes close to home again, this time on Emily's own street, with the brutal rape and murder of an inoffensive young girl. Then her somewhat smart-mouthed brother disappears, to be found later stuffed up a chimney. Pitt has to solve the crimes before Society freaks out completely, while also trying to clear Emily's husband of her suspicions. While Perry once again is devastating in her depiction of the Victorian upper middle classes and their preoccupation with manners, clothing, and withdrawing room gossip, the mystery plot is not as satisfactory in its conclusion.

4.0étoiles sur 5 As intense as the first., Nov. 29 2000
Par MLPlayfair (Ravenna, OH) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This is the third in the Charlotte and Thomas Pitt series. It's been two years since their marriage, and I like the way their relationship has grown. Charlotte's simple but happy life is seen here against her sister's more affluent lifestyle. The story is complex, like the first one, with a nice vision of the social system and a not-obvious ending. Interesting and well done. Makes me want to read the next one.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Starting to get predictable, Mai 7 2000
Par Jesse Petersen "jessepet" (Illinois) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
I loved CATER STREET HANGMAN and liked CALLANDER SQUARE. But I only thought this one was OK. I mean, the endings have all had the same "twist". This starts to get a bit predictable. I also didn't buy how Charlotte kept showing up at all these parties. I found it a bit insulting to all the hard work her husband was doing. There was little Pitt and Charlotte interaction that was real or satisfying.

Although I loved the addition of the Great Aunt, I'd like to see less of Charlotte's fascination with other men, and more Charlotte and Pitt working together.

2.0étoiles sur 5 highly dissapointing
The problem is, this is probably a very good book if you want to read about Victorian hypocrisy and society codes, but as mysteries go, it's bad. Read more
