Like the series and, esp. main character- intense plot without profanity but sexual situations (child / rape). Well narrated and recommended. ( ) El aristocrático clan de los Moidore, una de las mejores familias de Londres, a cuya mansión de Queen Anne Street acuden los más encumbrados personajes, nunca se había visto envuelto en le escándalo. Ahora, sin embargo, la bella hija de sir Basil ha aparecido apuñalada en su propia cama y la noticia corre de boca en boca por la ciudad. Interesting mystery & surprising denouement. What makes this series so fascinating is Perry’s highlighting of the social iniquities of the Victorian age. Whether it be the dismissal of a pregnant maid raped by a member of her employer’s family, or the more generalised suppression of women in the workplace or the social ‘disgrace’ of seeking a divorce from a sadist. In this book Monk puts his career on the line when he refuses to arrest an innocent man, and he co-opts the aid of a Crimean nurse to play private detective in a wealthy household. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Inspector Monk returns to the scene of another Victorian-era murder mystery when the daughter of an upper-crust family is stabbed in her own home. Inspector William Monk has his hands full when an aristocrat's daugher is stabbed to death in her own bed. He is instructed to proceed without delay, but finds his efforts hamstrung by the lingering traces of amnesia and the craven ineptitutde of his supervisor, who would love to see him fail. With the help of Hester Latterly, formerly a nurse with Florence Nightingale, Monk gropes warily through the silence and shadows, knowing that with each step he comes closer to the appalling truth.
