Can this book be a stand alone like Poirot series? Or the whole story doesn't end within this book??

Not a question just a statement. I have enjoyed the Monk series and now I am starting to get into the Charlotte & Pitt series. I hope that you have kept the foul language out of them or I'll have to stop reading your books. It's just that when I find a book I think I'll really like and then there is foul language I just hate it and won't read anymore of that author? I want to enjoy the book not have to jump over h

If you account that as blasphemy, then leave now.

Non-Christian religions are not touched upon.

As for the "four-letter" taboo words, what you would certainly call "foul language", they are absent from the present entry (I searched the Kindle copy) and possibly from all of Perry's Victorians, because they were not used casually in polite company at that time. Whether she represents the impolite as using them I have not noticed; if she does, I'm sure it's appropriate.

The word "whore" does occur, in literal use, as a reported false accusation in this book. Certainly Hester Monk nurses women working as prostitutes and makes no bones about it. And brothels show up periodically, because murders sooner or later intersect everything.

Finally. While I understand your position on the matter and defend your right to take it, I also find it massively silly. I can sympathize with being disgusted enough by pervasive ugly language to avoid it; that's reasonable esthetics. But to allow a few appropriate occurrences of one or another taboo words to make you ban an author is prudish overreaction.(less)

Am I going crazy or did it seem like they were having different versions of the same conversations? Like there’d be slight differences but the people didn’t seem to recognize they just discussed that a couple pages ago...

George Are you sure it was the same set of people having the conversations?
