Death with a Double Edge - Anne Perry
She read
Publication Date: April 13, 2021
From time to time, I have read some of Anne Perry’s Victorian mysteries. They are literate, atmospheric, and well written. This is the third book in her new series featuring Daniel Pitt, the barrister son of Thomas and Charlotte Pitt, the main characters in her earlier books.
The story is interesting, but somewhat plodding, with a lot of review of the evidence and facts of the case over and over again. Perry’s detailed, descriptive language paints a strong picture of the characters and their environments and there is fascinating insight into the life and times of early twentieth century London. It is worth a read for those factors more so than as an enthralling mystery.
