Book Description:
In the studio of a London artist, two women have been murdered, one of them the wife of Dr. Kristian Beck, a physician from Vienna with whom Hester's dear friend, Lady Callandra, is secretly in love.
When Beck is charged with the murder, Callandra enlists the aid of Hester and William. Neither of the Monks fits tidily into polite society. William, a former policeman now working as a private enquiry agent, has no memory of his life before a serious injury five years ago; it may partly explain his cantankerous personality.
Hester, a nurse who served under Florence Nightingale in the Crimean War, is outspoken, courageous, passionate, independent and stubborn not exactly your typical subservient Victorian gentlewoman.

Funeral in Blue, like all of Perry's Monk books, has interesting characters and plot twists and immerses the reader in the millieu of mid-nineteenth century London. I really enjoy these books.
Two beautiful women have been found strangled in the studio of a well-known London artist. To investigator WIlliam Mon, and his wife Hester, the murders are a nightmare. One of the victims is the wife of Hester's cherished cooeague, surgeon Dr. Kristian Beck. This is one of Perry's best.
A WILLIAM MONK MYSTERY, SET IN VICTORIAN ENGLAND. I LIKE THE HISTORICAL ASPECT OF THIS AND THE MYSTERIES ARE GOOD
Mary C. (Enlightening history of London at this time in history and Thomas and Charlotte Pitt fans should really enjoy - I did! Well-written, amusing, historical mystery.
