Virginia's review of Seven Dials: A Charlotte and Thomas Pitt Novel
Seven Dials: A Charlotte and Thomas Pitt Novel by Anne Perry
this is the first Anne Perry book i've read in awhile, and while i'm interested in the story line & details of daily life in Victorian England (and Alexandria, Egypt) i'm finding Anne Perry's writing style increasingly difficult to tolerate. She keeps TELLING us what the character is feeling rather than SHOWING it. Finding this pedantic & preachy. Don't think i'll be reading much more of her stuff for awhile, which is a shame, cause i really like Thomas & Charlotte, Gracie & Aunt Vespasia. Are there any TV or movie adaptations of her work yet? if not, why not?

I have to agree - I listened to a couple of her books that were loaned to me by a friend...they are the river police guy who is married to a former Crimean War nurse - can't recall their names sadly. I enjoyed listening to them and did get involved with the characters but I didn't like her style very much either.
