DESCRIPTION:
A general election is approaching and Thomas is called to monitor the bitter struggle for one crucial London seat. His Liberal opponent is Aubrey Serracold, whose wife, Rose, is passionately committed to a socialist agenda and a liability to Serracold as she is immersed in spiritualism. To Pitt's heavy burdens is now added the investigation of this baffling crime.. Rose is one of the three participants in a late-night seance held by clairvoyant Maude Lamont, which becomes notorious when Madame Lamont's brutally murdered body is found the next morning. A riveting new Thomas and Charlotte Pitt novel, in which Anne Perry again pro
"disappointed" according to moderatelymoderate. I was disappointed by the number of mistakes in the book. Among them were things not appropriate for the 1890s such as Emily & Jack's daughter apparently being raised as a modern child, allowed to whine a series of 'why' questions without being told she'd understand when she was older, 'because I said so', etc. And I doubt the phrase 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend.' was around in the 1890s.

I've read everyone and had to go back to this one that somehow I missed. Perhaps I can start to get my house ready for the winter to come. I have been held captive for the past couple weeks finishing the last 6 books in this series. I can't tell you how desolate I feel. I do hope that Ms. Perry is busy writing her little fingers to the bone. Southampton Row was as delectable as all of the rest of the books in the series and I am feeling quite empty
Like Holmes and Moriarty, Thomas Pitt and Charles Voisey appear destined to grapple once more. Yet Anne Perry's Southampton Row again finds him displaced from his police command, this time to foil the political ambitions of a ruthless republican. However, Southampton Row reduces the usually intrepid Charlotte to a hand-wringing irrelevance, and the novel feels too much like an intermediate and inconclusive chapter in a longer story arc. Only months later, though, he's back on top, runni
