Fantastical and slightly ott. Thomas is a Superintendent and doesn't particularly like delegating the work to resentful others. ( ) Inspector Thomas Pitt's promotion to Superintendent and the resultant pressures and predicaments differentiate this from the average Charlotte & Thomas Pitt mystery. The gruesome, high-publicity murder case was interesting, and I found the domestic and political elements added, rather than detracted, from the story. Well-paced and plotted. no reviews | add a review
Not since the bloody deeds of Jack the Ripper have Londoners felt such terror as that aroused by the gruesome beheadings in Hyde Park. And if newly promoted Police Superintendent Thomas Pitt does not quickly apprehend the perpetrator, he is likely to lose his own head, professionally speaking. Yet even with the help of Charlotte Pitt's subtle investigation, the sinister violence continues unchecked. And in a shocking turn of events that nearly convinces the pair of sleuths that they have met their match, the case proves to be Pitt's toughest ever. No library descriptions found. |
