Summary
The second thrilling mystery in an exciting new generation of Pitt novels, from the New York Times bestselling author and queen of Victorian crime, Anne Perry. 'Anne Perry's Victorian mysteries are marvels of plot construction' New York Times Daniel Pitt is delighted that his sister is visiting London with her American husband Patrick, a policeman, and their young daughter. But Patrick's trip has another purpose, for which he enlists Daniel's help. Philip Sydney, a young British diplomat, is accused of robbery and assault in Washington, but he has taken diplomatic immunity and fled to England. The perfect opportunity to obtain justice presents itself when Sydney is accused of a small embezzlement at the British Embassy in the USA, but as Daniel digs deeper into the case it becomes clear that vengeance is involved. When a witness is murdered in America suspicion of guilt falls on Sydney. But is somebody trying to frame him? And, if so, who and why? Daniel follows a trail that uncovers another murder, and leads from Washington to the idyllic Channel Islands, then to a dramatic scene in court that almost defies belief...

Two books into the Daniel Pitt series (and already starting the third), I have one big grumble: Anne Perry’s writing style drives me crazy. She has a character mull internally over a long, drawn out psychological problem, and then, a bit later, the same long, drawn out problem is repeated in excruciating detail in a dialogue between characters. And then it’s repeated again with another character in another scene. And maybe we hear the same argument repeated and explored for a fourth time… I find myself rolling my eyes from the repetition and tedium…. the author seriously needs an editor to chop out her redundant dialogue. Why do I return to her books? I do love the time period in which the Daniel Pitt series is set. But it’s probably because I find her underlying plot, the mystery of the crime itself, to be interesting, logical and worth following. I just wish her narrative style wasn’t so absurdly draining. The audio book narrator does his best with the material; he’s growing on me.
