This is even better than the last installment. ( ) From the first chapter I concluded what had happened, and was right. No surprises. But still plenty to enjoy in the characters. Sideline story: Monk, the detective still trying to piece together his life after a bout of amnesia, comes up against a new threat of a woman trying to ruin him, and he cannot at all remember why. Meanwhile, his relationship with Hester, the Crimean nurse, is becoming increasingly frustrating, and he dare not admit even to himself why he is always so harsh with her. All this while they are investigating the disappearance of a wealthy businessman who went to visit his evil twin brother in the bad side of town. Another great book in the William Monk series, I have to confess that I didn't call it until about three pages before the end by which time I'm sure it was obvious to everyone. The strange thing about reading a series from the beginning when there are considerable novels published already is that you can't help wondering when things are going to happen in the slowly building storyline, I won't post spoilers but I'm sure sure fellow readers know what I'm talking about. I love Anne Perry's way with words and she really bring the Victorian era to life. I began reading her short Christmas novellas and really enjoyed them so it seemed a natural choice to jump into a longer series. no reviews | add a review

HTML:"A TRIUMPH . . . A model of the richness and subtleties of relationships, characters, and story construction." â??Chicago Sun-Times In his family life, Angus Stonefield had been gentle and loving; in business, a man of probity; and in his relationship with his twin brother, Caleb, a virtual saint. Now Angus is missing, and it appears more than possible that Calebâ??a creature long since abandoned to depravityâ??has murdered him. Hired to find the missing man, William Monk puts himself into his shoes, searching for clues to Angus's fate and his vicious brother's whereabouts. Slowly, Monk inches toward the truthâ??and also, unwittingly, toward the destruction of his good name and livelihood. . . . "MASTERFUL . . . DARKLY CHILLING . . . Perry eloquently delivers to her readers the flavor of Victorian England. . . . Readers will be kept entertained and guessingâ??right up to the final pages." â??Milwaukee Journal Sentinel "JUST WHEN YOU THINK YOU HAVE IT FIGURED OUT, THINK AGAIN! No one can capture and bring to life the drama, excitement, and feel of Victorian England like Perry." â??Mostly Murder A Main Selection No library descriptions found. |
