What the critics say

"As tension mounts in the household and a handsome and disliked footman becomes a scapegoat, Monk covertly arranges to introduce Hester Latterly, who served with Florence Nightingale in the Crimea and has helped Monk before, as a nurse in the Moidore home. Although a grave miscarriage of justice occurs and Monk is dismissed from the police force for a matter of conscience, the strong-willed pair persists in pressing the case to its chilling conclusion." ( Publishers Weekly)
"Anne Perry can write a Victorian mystery that would make Dickens's eyes pop." ( New York Times Book Review)
"A richly textured, masterfully plotted, thoroughly enjoyable read." ( Kirkus Reviews)

Ms Perry must have been paid by the word in this one.

This rambled around the gate and down the lane and back again. The original mystery, (Monk has 2 “cases” in this one) becomes just a vehicle for expounding views on women’s rights, the second case strains credulity to the utmost. I could imagine the narrator rolling his eyes as he read through some of her more florid descriptions. Quite honestly, if it had been a hard copy of the book, I’d have thrown it in the recycle… Audible at least made it possible to get to the convoluted end.
