I'm still here! We've had a crazy few months at my place. I've had three sets of tonsils removed from various people in as many months. The two five year olds weren't so bad. The 33 year old? That was a special kind of fun. Seriously, the adult caregiver in charge should get drugs too. And I still h...
There was a little too much focusing on dresses and who was in love with who, but I went into this book expecting it, so it didn't annoy me that much. I really liked the emphasis on the expectations for men and women during that time. Charlotte came across as a bit too naive to believe, but I liked ...
I just don't have time to do full blown reviews right now! When I did my January recap post, I realized that I had only read one Scribd book. If I am going to maintain my subscription, I need to read at least four or five books a month to make it worth my while. When I saw that Anne Perry's Thom...
I enjoyed this start to the Charlotte and Thomas Pitt series, set in Victorian London. This novel opens in 1881 with the still unmarried Charlotte Ellison. Her elder sister Sarah is married to a man Charlotte has a longstanding crush on, and her younger sister Emily is trying to catch a Lord in matr...
I stayed up until 5:30am listening to this audiobook, because it was due back at the library today. I can't say that it was wasted time. It was a pretty good book and the narrator, Davina Porter does a satisfying job. However, I didn't love this book. I think the major issue I had was that I foun...
I read this after buying several books in the Pitt series at a garage sale. It was a couple years before I learned that Anne Perry (real name Juliet Hulme) helped her best gal pal plan and commit matricide when they were teenagers. In light of this revelation, I think I'm going to have to pass on th...
Really enjoyed Seven Dials, the 23rd book in this series. Sort of shocked to find out that the author of a series of murder mysteries is herself a convicted murderer.
Apparently, Anne Perry was one of the young women that the film Heavenly Creatures was based on. She's written an enormous amount of detective fiction and this book is the first in an apparently popular series about the married protagonists. It was a reasonably enough cosy read until the end and th...
This is the first book in the Charlotte and Thomas Pitt series. If you read this and love it you will love the others. I will warn you that some of them get a little gruesome.
