What I mean by overall is the beginning and end were engaging for me, but the middle portion was a slog at times. Will continue to read the series though, wonderful characters with ongoing story lines. ( ) Alors que les élections parlementaires approchent, une spirite est trouvée morte. Thomas Pitt mène à nouveau l’enquête, sans Charlotte cette fois, ce qui ôte un certain charme à cette histoire dans laquelle on retrouve thèmes et personnages récurrents de la série. Un opus mineur, sans grande originalité par rapport aux volumes précédents, mais qui conserve l’attrait suranné de l’époque victorienne. Londres, junio de 1892. Pronto habrá elecciones. En el Parlamento y en las calles se discute sobre los temas candentes. Los liberales creen que podrán acceder al poder; los conservadores, que deben jugar todas sus bazas para no perderlo. Y una de sus principales cartas es Charles Voisey, el acérrimo enemigo del superintendente Thomas Pitt. Voisey va a presentarse a un escaño en un distrito electoral conflictivo. Pitt recibe la orden de vigilar todos sus pasos. Sin embargo, cuando la médium consultada por toda la alta sociedad victoriana aparece muerta en su casa en sospechosas circunstancias, Pitt es apartado de sus obligaciones para indagar en este extraño crimen. Ignora que ambos casos pueden estar más relacionados de lo previsto... Perry's stuff is believable and relatively easy to follow. She tends, like many mystery writers, to refer back to her other stories in the series, unavoidable if you are writing a sequence, but comes across a little self-promoting at times. In this book Thomas Pitt is more on his own, and so some other female characters are rounded out, this is good. Michael Page reads the story well, and varies his voice well for various characters, including the women. Over all, the book is good reading, entertaining, but not compelling. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

HTML:NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER In Victorian England, a divisive election is fast approaching. Passions are so enflamed that Thomas Pitt, shrewd mainstay of the London police, has been ordered not to solve a crime but to prevent a national disaster. The aristocratic Tory candidateâ??and Pittâ??s archenemyâ??is Charles Voisey. The Liberal candidate is Aubrey Serracold, whose wifeâ??s dalliance with spiritualism threatens his chances. Indeed, she is one of the participants in a late-night séance that becomes the swan song of a stylish clairvoyant who is found brutally murdered the next morning in her house on Southampton Row. Meanwhile, Pittâ??s wife, Charlotte, and their children are enjoying a country vacationâ??unaware that they, too, are deeply endangered by the same fanatical forces hovering over No library descriptions found. |
