Cardington Crescent by Anne Perry
When the womanizing aristocrat George March is found dead over his morning coffee, the immediate concern of his shocked Cardington Crescent household is quieting the scandal as discreetly--and quickly--as possible. Unfortunately for March's wife, Emily, that means accusing her of the murder. But the family does not take into account Emily's beloved sister, who is none other than the indomitable Charlotte Pitt. Together, Charlotte and her husband, police inspector Thomas Pitt, take on the seemingly irreproachable, upper-crust March clan and uncover an insidious web of corruption and depravity that leads them from the elegant Crescent town house to the hideous London slums, and from genteel society to murder--again.
Pitt's compassion and Charlotte's cleverness make them compatible sleuths, as well as extremely congenial. . . . Perry has the great gift of making it all seem immediate and very much alive.--The Philadelphia Inquirer
[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
Perry's work is consistently top-notch and [Silence in Hanover Close] is one of her strongest efforts.--The San Diego Union-Tribune
Anne Perry is my choice for today's best mystery writer of Victoriana.--St. Louis Post-Dispatch
