Charlotte & Thomas Pitt #2
Callander Square
Murders just don’t happen in fashionable areas like Callander Square–but these two have. The police are totally baffled. Pretty, young Charlotte Ellison Pitt, however, is curious.Inspector Pitt’s well-bred wife doesn’t often meddle in her husband’s business, but something about this case intrigues her–to the point that staid Charlotte Pitt is suddenly rattling the closets of the very rich, seeking out backstairs gossip that would shock a barmaid, and unearthing truths that could push even the most proper aristocrat to murder.

Un bon llibre de misteris ambientat a l'època victoriana. Tot i tenir un començament que no acaba de ser del tot rodó, després agafa volada i no et pots separar de les seves pàgines. A més, m'ha encantat anar fent especulacions i pensant tota mena de teories sobre qui podria ser l'assassí.
