I've not read any of Anne Perry's books before so it was good to find something a little different to my usual choice of reading.
I really enjoyed this historical murder story, part of the William Monk detective series.
It's a complex plot with interesting and memorable characters. I really enjoyed the story as well as finding out more about aspects of Victorian England including the medical scene and women's lives.
The setting is Victorian England 1857 and when Prudence Barrymore, a Crimean nurse is murdered in London's Royal Free Hospital, William Monk, a private investigator is called in to help find the murderer.
Look forward to reading more in this series.

Hi -
ReplyDeleteI am rereading the first few books of the William Monk series. I also enjoy the historical aspect of Perry's books. I've read quite a few of her other series (Charlotte and Thomas Pitt).
I recommend reading her books in sequence to get more of an idea about the characters.
Happy mystery reading :)
