Descriptions du produit

From Publishers Weekly

The uncut audio version of Perry's latest book about the enigmatic, rough-edged private detective William Monk and his wife, Hester the no-nonsense nurse who learned her trade with Florence Nightingale in Crimea is a veritable time machine. Aided by Colacci's cool but carefully calibrated reading, which cleverly cranks up the excitement when necessary, Perry's tale transports readers to Victorian London along with a splendid side trip to Vienna, as the Monks try to clear a doctor friend of two murder charges. Along the way, Perry gets to show off again her seamless talent for illustrating the era's social evils this time addictive gambling and barely hidden anti-Semitism without making her obviously prodigious research seem lumpy or excessive. There's more about period medical practices here than some listeners might have the stomach for, as Hester and Dr. Kristian Beck (the man accused of killing his wife and an artist's model) perform some very bloody surgery, but it certainly roots the story in reality. So do Perry's writing and Colacci's sly reading about women's fashions and what they had to say about the social roles of the people forced to wear them. This is a perfect example of an audiobook that deftly captures a book's spirit. Simultaneous release with the Ballantine hardcover.

From Library Journal

William Monk is back to investigate the murders of Elissa, the wife of surgeon Kristian Beck, and Sarah Mackison, an artist's model, found strangled in an artist's studio. Who was the real target and who was killed coincidentally? The revolutions that swept Europe in 1848 are the background for this tale, as Kristian, Elissa, and Max Nieman, a friend of the Becks, met in Vienna and fought together there. When the passion and excitement of that life are gone, Elissa turns to gambling and loses much of Kristian's money. This provides a good motive for murder, and those fond of Kristian, notably Lady Callandra Daviot, fight to clear his name. The plot, when existent, is very slow paced. Much of the tale is endless philosophizing and questioning: Why do people gamble? Why would Kristian have killed his wife? When the real killer is uncovered it is climactic, if long overdue. Perhaps an abridged version would work better. Although the reading by David Colacci is good, this is not recommended. Marjorie Lemon, SRCF-Mercer, PA

4.0étoiles sur 5 Very readable, Mars 18 2003
Par Craig Alner (Mount Laurel, New Jersey United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
Simply put. Likeable and interesting characters. Great period of time. Wouldn't call this a high-octane read, but enjoyable. Liked it enough to look into other Anne Perry novels.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Excellent Victorian Mystery!, Fév 25 2003
Par Un client
Anne Perry is a top-notch writer of mystery and has her victorian facts down pat! I generally do not like mysteries, but since the first book that I read by Ms.Perry, I have read ALL of her books!

If you want a good read and mystery right to the last page, then this is the book for you!

3.0étoiles sur 5 A good try, Déc 31 2002
Par Eric Stott (Albany, NY USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
The writing and atmosphere are good in this one, but the plot stinks. We are constantly told what characters are like and how they feel, but we see little direct evidence to prove it. Too many plot threads, one involving Hester's brother and sister in law is created seemingly just for convenience in trying up part of the evidence in the main case. One good point- Runcorn is presented as a slightly more complex character. Monk sees him in a different light as they work together, and it seems as if some of their differences may be mending. It would be good for him to have an ally on the police force again. It seems that Monk is going to try and re establish some contact with his remaining relatives, and that would be good as well. It's about time that Anne Perry started to tie up the threads of Monk's life and bring the series to a close before it becomes unreadable. How many more dreadful dark family secrets can she work into her plots before she runs out of ideas?
