4.0 out of 5 stars Not her best, but a good read nonetheless., 19 Mar 2001
By A Customer
As an avid fan of Anne Perry--yes, I've read all of her Thomas Pitt and William Monk novels available in paperback to date!--I found the plot suspenseful and fascinating in its depiction of the Victorian theatre and its actors and actresses, Victorian photography and pornography industry, and its skillful interweaving of the "Hamlet" subtext with the main plot. Perry develops the characters of Caroline (Charlotte's mother) and Joshua Fielding and their unusual marriage--he being 15 years her junior and of a different faith--more fully than in previous novels, and we finally come to understand what Caroline's mother-in-law, Grandmamma, suffered in her own marriage and how it turned her into the bitter, vicious, and vindictive old woman she became. The weakest part of the novel, or perhaps the only part that I felt was occasionally boring, was all of the moralizing and rhapsodizing about life and its difficulties and challenges in America in the conversations between Caroline and her first husband's half-brother. This was somewhat reminiscent of the similar moralizing tone that frequently plagues the William Monk series, in its sometimes repetitive references to the horrors of Hester's nursing experiences in the Crimea. All in all, however, "Half Moon Street" is cleverly plotted and comes to a satisfying and surprising conclusion.
