Product Description

Product Description
Despite the lack of a convincing motive, evidence presented by Thomas Pitt leads to the conviction for murder, and execution, of John Adinett, a distinguished soldier and scholar. But the hanged man was a member of the Inner Circle, a secretive group of men whose power extends further than Pitt realises is possible.

THE CATER STREET HANGMAN was watched by millions of viewers when it was broadcast by ITV.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good conspiracy theories and resolution, 11 Nov 2001
Gracie and Tellman take the main parts in this very readable story. I was most impressed by the ending which made sense and was quite possible. I really enjoyed the play between Gracie and Tellman. They provide an extra interest in the development of Charlotte and Pitt and the story also gives us more information about Vespasia. The Ripper connection was very well done. Anne Perry is right at the top of thriller writers with story, characterisation and historical detail.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent commuter read!, 13 Nov 2001
By A Customer
I bought this... to amuse myself on a return flight, and wasn't disappointed. It's an easy, enjoyable read - your brain won't be too taxed by any of it, but you'll keep turning those pages anyway, eager to find out just how the author intends to knit all her strands together.

It deals with a policeman who, called into examine a suspicious death, becomes the key witness in the the murderer's trial. It's somewhat unusual in that from the beginning, we know *who* committed the murder, but not why. And when we start getting into why, the novel takes on a real life, with characters I cared about and a twist-and-turn plot. The policeman is sent into exile -- well, the East End -- and his colleagues and family set about figuring out why catching a murderer should have caused this purdah. The result takes in republicans, royalists, the Prince of Wales, the Ripper, not to mention half of London's top movers and shakers of the time. There's courtroom drama, exciting chase scenes, villanous big bosses and nosey journalists. . .no new ground being trodden here, but tried and tested formalae applied with an expert hand.

It's set at the end of the Victorian era, with detail enough to get the imagery alive but not too over the top - this is a thriller first and foremost, not a historical treatise. Perry isn't trying to get across how clever she is and how much she knows.

As I said, it's not a real brain teaser, but the combination of intriguing plotting and period touches make it a great read. Perfect for whiling away those commuter hours on the bus or train. Anne Perry has written a whole series featuring this policeman, so I'm off to find the rest!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!, 19 Feb 2002
Another success for Anne Perry. She's done a fine job in characterisation and an amazingly vivid picture of victorian Britain. Breathtaking to the last pages. When will she stop writing such interesting and well-written books? I can't wait for the next one!
