Mystery Historical
Anne Perry’s Charlotte and Thomas Pitt mysteries are perhaps
the best loved of all her Victorian bestsellers, luring us
into the
multilayered richness of London, from the great mansions and
secluded
drawing rooms to the city’s festering slums. Now, in her most
mesmerizing novel yet, she invites us to a house-party at
Buckingham
Palace.
The Prince of Wales has asked four wealthy
entrepreneurs and their wives to the palace to discuss a
fantastic
idea: the construction of a six-thousand-mile railroad that
would
stretch the full length of Africa. But, alas, the prince’s
gathering
proves disastrous when the mutilated body of a prostitute
hired for a
late-night frolic (after the wives have retired to bed)
turns up among
the queen’s monogrammed sheets in a palace linen
closet.
With
great haste, Thomas Pitt, brilliant mainstay of Special
Services, is
summoned to resolve the crisis. The Pitts’ cockney maid,
Gracie, is
also recruited–to pose as a palace servant and listen in on
the guests’
conversations, scan their bedrooms, and scrutinize their
troubled faces
for clues to hidden rivalries and attachments that could
have lead to
murder. If Pitt and Gracie fail to find out who brutally
murdered the
young woman–as seems increasingly likely–Pitt’s career will
be over,
and the scandal may just cause the monarchy to
fall.
With a cast
of wonderful characters, among them the gentle Princess of
Wales, and a
twisting plot that takes us into the hidden world of the
royal family,
Anne Perry probes deeply the hearts of men and women
ensnared by their
own emotions. Never has this distinguished novelist told a story
with more truth and passion.
