En los pocos minutos que se tarda en cruzar el puente de Westminster, Sir Lockwood Hamilton es degollado y atado firmemente a la farola con su pañuelo de noche. El asesino luego desaparece sin ser visto. El inspector Thomas Pitt cree que el motivo podría haber sido personal. . . o político. Cuando un segundo miembro del parlamento es asesinado de la misma manera, la política parece ser la razón. Pronto la lista de sospechosos incluye anarquistas y sufragistas. La indignación pública aumenta y el miedo se apodera de Londres y el Parlamento después de un tercer asesinato en un poste de luz. En una elegante calle londinense se perpetúa un horrendo crimen: Fanny, una joven de diecisiete años, es violada y asesinada brutalmente. El caso se asigna al inspector Pitt quien, como en otras ocasiones, se sirve de su perspicaz y aristocrática esposa Charlotte para penetrar en el hermético mundo de la alta sociedad, donde tras la fachada de respetabilidad encontrarán un enrarecido ambiente: supersticiones, vampiresas insaciables, alcohólicos, presuntos suicidios... y hasta ritos satánicos. 1885 Who would want to kill 17 year old innocent Fanny Nash of Paragon Walk. It is for Inspector Pitt to investigate. As his sister my marriage Emily lives on the same Walk, will she and his wife Charlotte be a help in this case. Is Fanny's death the start of a killing spree. An enjoyable and well-written mystery I like Anne Perry’s plots and settings, but get really annoyed by how repetitive they become the further along in the series you read. the books are also internally repetitive. These would be Great books for people who take a month of “15 minutes before sleep” reading to complete a book and need the odd review, but deadly boring for people who read books at a handful of sittings. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

HTML:The stylish gentlemen of London's Paragon Walk are suspects in a novel that "combines murder with a profile of the morals and manners of Victorian society" (The Atlanta Journal-Constitution). When innocent Fanny Nash of exclusive Paragon Walk dies in the arms of her exquisite sister-in-law, Jessamyn, Inspector Pitt is assigned to investigate her rape and murder. Every man of Paragon Walk is under suspicion, even Pitt's brother-in-law, Lord George Ashworth, who was the last to have seen her. Could it be the charming, enigmatic Frenchman? Fanny's cruel brother? Wealthy Dilbridge, who hosts wild, decadent parties? As Pitt digs deeper into the mystery, Paragon Walk's aristocratic haughtiness gives way to fear, its calm to hatred. To keep her sister Emily, Lady Ashworth, company in this difficult time, inquisitive Charlotte once again finds herself in the midst of a deadly mystery. In the drawing rooms of her sister's neighbors, Charlotte engages in witty and sharp-edged conversations that reveal unsavory intrigues and bitter rivalries. On Paragon Walk, Charlotte's probing despite Thomas's warnings may prove fatal. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
