When Inspector Thomas Pitt is asked to reopen a three-year-old murder case which had taken place in London's luxurious Hanover Close, he knows that his superiors want him to smooth things over. But that is just not the way Pitt operates. With his wellborn wife, Charlotte, to aid him in penetrating the well-known reserve of high society, the inquisitive Pitts discover a secret so shocking it would lead to more deaths--and, quite possibly -- Pitt's own.... "[A] complex, gripping and highly satisfying mystery...An adroit blend of thick London atmosphere and a convincing cast...A totally surprising yet wonderfully plausible finale." PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
I love this series with Thomas and Charlotte Pitt. It really shows how bad things were under strict capitalism and with very stiff social classes. I thought I had read all of them, but may have missed this one which has some glowing reviews. I do wish the Seattle Public Library had it as a downloadable audio book. I will try putting in a request.
