Summary: Hester Latterly Charged with Murder
Comment: When Hester Latterly, a former Crimean War nurse, takes on a brief assignment between jobs to assist an elderly Scottish woman from Edinburgh to London she has no idea that when they reach their destination she will be charged with murder. Despite the best efforts of her friends private detective William Monk and lawyer Oliver Rathbone, she is put on trial in Scotland. You will enjoy following the twists and turns in this 19th-century "Law and Order"-type mystery as the skilled Anne Perry takes you from investigations to trial procedures without ever missing a beat or hitting a false note.
Perry's Monk mysteries are a bit darker and more psychologically thrilling than her more well-known Pitt series of mysteries, but devoted fans of the Pitts will recognize the skilled plot and character developments, the labrynthine twists and turns of the investigations, and the focus on scandals and secrets.

Summary: A fascinating, well-plotted mystery.
Comment: Anne Perry has done well on the bestseller lists every time her books have come out. After reading this book, I can see why. This is an incredible, breathtaking book. Hester Latterly has been accused of killing an elderly woman in her charge on a train from Edinburgh to London. Things get progressively worse for her when a private detective who is a close collegue of hers comes up with very little to prove her innocence, but a light at the end of the tunnel does eventually appear. Anne Perry brilliantly describes England and Scotland with vivid detail. She even brings the village she lives in in Scotland, Portmahomack, into it. There is a great deal of psychological detail, but keep reading. The end left me with my mouth hanging open. One of the very best historical mysteries I have read.

Summary: The secret life of a honorable family
Comment: Nurse Hester Latterly is engaged to escort Mrs. Farraline, an elder lady from Edinburg to London. But the journey takes a lethal course: Next morning the lady is dead, an extra portion of her medicine (digitalis) missing, and an expensive brooch is found in Hester's bag. She was obviously framed up by a member of Mrs. Farraline's family - heirs to her estate. Ex-inspector William Monk and star-attorney Oliver Rathbone rush to Hester's defense. But the Farralines, an old-established family, are such a model of honorableness...Sins of the wolf (depravity, deception, treachery) is first-rate reading and there is a surprise ending: you will be amused to learn the origin of the Farradine's wealth - but I won't reveal more. Anne Perry's victorian thrillers are excellent, not one is weak. Gripping, profound and atmospheric!
