‘Well observed period detail, a fascination with miscarriages of justice and the high drama of the law’

Product Description
Fourth in the popular series of Victorian murder mysteries starring Thomas and Charlotte Pitt
It was the most incredible thing: a corpse sitting in an empty hansom cab – and it wasn’t just any corpse, but the body of a peer of the realm. To Inspector Pitt and his wife, Charlotte, it was sheer lunacy. Whoever would want to unearth a decently buried old chap like Lord Augustus Fitzroy-Hammond?
The doctor insisted that the death had been natural. But there was certainly nothing natural about any of this as far as the police were concerned. And Inspector Pitt was determined to unearth the truth – even if the digging could kill him…

Format:Paperback
Resurrection Row is a wonderfully gruesome novel from Anne Perry. Another in the Thomas and Charlotte Pitt series. Her research into the murky world of digging up corpses from a graveyard to get the police to investigate a murder cannot be faulted. It also shows how Charlotte and her sister Emily can use their social connections to help the police in their investigations.

Format:Paperback
Perhaps the least satisfying Charlotte & Thomas novel, so far. Again, interesting characters and excellent social detail, but for me the two strands of the mystery did not come together easily. The hook of someone digging up corpses and leaving them in public places was ghoulishly interesting but didn't really mesh with the solution of the murder. Perhaps this was more a social drama than a whodunnit.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is the fourth in the Thomas and Charlotte Pitt series and is well up to Anne Perry's usual high standard! This one has a particularly ingenious plot and I was delighted to see that the interesting and mildly eccentric Aunt Vespasia is back again. She figured in the previous book, Paragon Walk. Charlotte's brother-in-law, Dominic, figures prominently in this book also.
