ANother fun and elegant Inspector Pitt book. A puzzling case in a proper Victorian homes leads im to the love of his life. But he has a murder to solve.
Ingenious mystery and an excellent example of caste systems in the Victorian era. Clever slueths....

This is a victorian mystery. It's about a family in England that has three grown daughters. They are an upper class family. They are shaken when vicious murders start taking place in their neighborhood. I thought the book was very interesting, especially in how things have changed since then.

Great read

Loved the Victorian setting. A First Charlotte and Thomas Pitt mystery.

This was my introduction to an author I have loved. Two of my VERY favorite characters are in this book!

"An ingenious mystery and an excellent example of manners and caste systems of the Victorian era."
THE CHATTANOOGA TIMES
While the Ellison girls were out paying calls and drinking tea like proper Victorian ladies, a maid in their household was strangled to death. The quiet and young Inspector Pitt investigates the scene and finds no one above suspicion. As his intense questioning causes many a composed facade to crumble, Pitt finds himself couriously drawn to pretty Charlotte Ellison. Yet, a romance between a society girl and so unsuitable a suitor was impossible in the midst of a murder....

The first book in the "Charlotte and Thomas Pitt" series is a real winner. It's a penetrating social critique disguised as a murder mystery. The book explores how families are torn apart by doubt and suspicion after a series of murders occurs in their fashionable neighborhood.

Interesting Victorian mystery with a twist at the end.
