Editorial Reviews

Library Journal

In the 12th Charlotte and Thomas Pitt mystery, the Victorian police detective and his wife explore society's upper crust after a moneylender is murdered. While the victim may have been killed by someone he was blackmailing, evidence points to aristocrats as well as members of the police force itself. This 1992 tale is the first Perry novel to reveal the existence of the Inner Circle, a secret society of the powerful and influential that will dog Thomas through several subsequent investigations. Because of her sister's pregnancy, Charlotte stands in as her politician brother-in-law's hostess and discovers clues helpful to the case. One of the better entries in the series because of the variety of suspects, a fascinating glimpse at sexual mores, and discussions of such figures as Lily Langtry and Oscar Wilde, Belgrave Square builds to a truly surprising climax. Davina Porter provides her usual exceptionally smooth reading. Highly recommended.-Michael Adams, CUNY Graduate Ctr. Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
