À propos de cet audio

No breath of scandal has ever touched the aristocratic Moidore family—until Sir Basil’s beautiful widowed daughter is stabbed to death in her own bed, a shocking, incomprehensible tragedy.

Inspector William Monk is ordered to investigate in a manner that will give the least possible pain to the influential family. But Monk, brilliant and ambitious, is handicapped by lingering traces of amnesia and by the craven ineptitude of his supervisor, who would like nothing better than to see
Monk fail. With the help of nurse Hester Latterly, a progressive young woman who served with Florence Nightingale in the Crimea, Monk gropes warily through the silence and shadows that obscure the case, knowing that with each step he comes closer to the appalling truth.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"As tension mounts in the household and a handsome and disliked footman becomes a scapegoat, Monk covertly arranges to introduce Hester Latterly, who served with Florence Nightingale in the Crimea and has helped Monk before, as a nurse in the Moidore home. Although a grave miscarriage of justice occurs and Monk is dismissed from the police force for a matter of conscience, the strong-willed pair persists in pressing the case to its chilling conclusion." ( Publishers Weekly)
"Anne Perry can write a Victorian mystery that would make Dickens's eyes pop." ( New York Times Book Review)
"A richly textured, masterfully plotted, thoroughly enjoyable read." ( Kirkus Reviews)

Ms Perry must have been paid by the word in this one.

This rambled around the gate and down the lane and back again. The original mystery, (Monk has 2 “cases” in this one) becomes just a vehicle for expounding views on women’s rights, the second case strains credulity to the utmost. I could imagine the narrator rolling his eyes as he read through some of her more florid descriptions. Quite honestly, if it had been a hard copy of the book, I’d have thrown it in the recycle… Audible at least made it possible to get to the convoluted end.
