Anne Perry has changed her perspective some in the over 10 years since she has written a Pitt novel. It shows in some of the characters. In this book we rarely see Charlotte. The maid is the supporting character in this novel.
It's a good book. Perhaps less salacious. I like that. (show less)

No, it's a flop!

Not up to here usual standards of intrigue - the plot was so dense with characters that it was drowning in places. Still worth reading, though.

  This book was worth reading, and certainly drives the overall story of Thomas Pitt, as well as Gracie, his maid. There was barely anything of Thomas' wife Charlotte, which is a pity, because I like the balance between Thomas' contributions and Charlotte's. I was somewhat taken aback at the idea that Gracie's manner of speech would fit in as an (undercover) Buckingham Palace servant, and was more so that the other maids spoke the same way--but what do I know?

  However....how many more high-up enemies can Thomas MAKE? I'm getting a little tired of his life getting more doom-and-gloomy with every new book in the series...next thing you know he'll be getting sent off on a convict ship to Australia or something and then where will we be (in Australia, I guess)? Can we get a breather...even if he's still Special Branch with all its skulduggery and deep doings, can we step back and have a book that does not mean the workings entire British Empore depends upon Thomas solving some crime, and even when he does solve it, he's hated and doomed anyway? Sigh. (show less)

  Anne Perry is an amazingly gifted and prolific author. This book features Thomas and Charlotte Pitt. I love this series, but I think I prefer the earlier installments when Thomas was a Police inspector. This book features Thomas in his role with the Special Branch. It also gives us a chance to see Gracie get out of the house and get involved in a case. It's only drawback, in my opinion, is that Charlotte wasn't as involved as I like. I found myself missing her in this book. Still, an excellen... (show more)
