A great cliffhanger from Anne Perry! An amazing portrayal of the differences between the upper and lowest classes in Victorian London. Women are being gang raped and beaten in a most shameful manner and Monk must find out who the perpetrators are. Meanwhile Hester has a patient suffering from such a severe beating he cannot even cry out. Is he a victim or a rapist? The few herrings (red and otherwise) will keep the ending as an amazing reveal in the last few pages! Highly recommended.
