Death in the Devil's Acre (Charlotte and Thomas Pitt Series Book 7)

Anne Perry is an excellent writer, keeps you guessing till the end.

There is something missing in this Ms Perry’s 7th book o the Charlotte and Thomas Pitt Series. I am not sure the story totally holds together with the ending. Also the ending comes very fast with the revelations very quickly at the end. I have read most if not all of her Monk series. For me that series all had a reasonable ending not coming quickly to the end as each of these series that I have read do and I think that is a flaw in this writing.

I have read most of the books in this series, only a few missed. I found this story in my unread purchases, read it, and realized how much I missed the storyline, the characters, the history portrayed. Sorry I only have about 3 unread in the series. Absolutely wonderful author. I believe she has another series and will go see what I am missing.

Rely on Anne Perry for a good read.This one is different as the murders and most of the sleuthing take place in the vile, slum area called The Devil's Acre , where as it turns out many of the seemingly respectable gentlemen and ladies , go for a different kind of entertainment.Charlotte discovers accidentally that she can be a flirt .A light diversion from the grizzly subject of the investigation .There is more real danger for the Pitts than is usual. Thomas is stabbed in a street fight and believe it or not Charlotte shows she can give as much as she gets in a brawl with the madam of a brothel !Thomas arrives on time to save her , of course

Always enjoy the Charlotte and Thomas Pitt books. No matter the crime seems Ms. Perry puts Charlotte in the middle of the hunt.

A classic Perry novel of murder in the highest social circles.The end comes as a surprise and is satisfying and logical as you see the threads coming together

I always like Charlotte & Thomas Pitt dialogue and description of the times.Upon occasion I must reread a few paragraphs to keep all of the characters straight.Thanks

This is a complex and well-crafted mystery. Once again, however, the publisher, Open Road, has failed its author. In this novel, "the" is repeatedly substituted for "die"; the maid Gracie is referred to as Grade; and I googled "talcing naps" only to realize that "taking naps" was intended. There were a couple of mangled words I never did figure out. The errors are severe enough to have interfered with my enjoyment of the book. Four stars for the story; four demerits for the editorial staff.

I learnt a lot from reading this book of Anne Perrys, it was written about the time my grandmother was born, I can’t say I’m sorry to have missed those days and times.

Great book to read

Too long to get to the main plot.Poor compared to the others in the series so far

I like this series very much. Interesting to see the life of Victorians. Always good stories.

Great Victorian mystery. Anne Perry at her best.
