Callander Square (Thomas and Charlotte Pitt Series #2)

by Anne Perry

Overview

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.

Editorial Reviews

Murder fans who prefer their crimes with a touch of class should heat some scones and nestle back for the afternoon.” —Atlanta Journal-Constitution

“You can count on a Perry tale to be superior.”—San Diego Union-Tribune

From the Publisher

The bodies of two newborns are discovered buried in a garden in the posh Callander Square region of London. Inspector Pitt and his precocious young wife, Charlotte, begin solving the crime from two different perspectives--one from within the walls of the peculiar residents' homes, and the other from the outside. Davina Porter accompanies the listener into the fashionable, yet shallow, world of ladies and gentlemen, cads, self-centered girls, and dedicated servants shattered by the discovery of the babies. Her portrayal of Pitt and his wife is energizing and exhibits their intelligence and dedication to one another. Diversified character performances are profound and colorful, assuring the listeners of guaranteed entertainment. B.J.P. © AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine
