Summary: An Intriguing and Spellbinding Tale!!
Comment: Seven Dials is one of the best books in the Charlotte and Thomas Pitt series! It has everything in it, and although there are a few coincidences in it, it still is wonderful entertainment. The plot of this story takes place in Victorian England and in Egypt. Both places are beautifully described and the reader really feels that they are there in this time and place. Pitt is trying to fit into his new position in Special Branch, and he's trying to figure out his superior - Victor Narraway. Neither one trusts the other as yet, but by the end of the book, they trust each other implicitly. They are both working to avert a terrible scandal that threatens the British access to Egyptian cotton and the Suez canal. How a death of an ex-soldier in a moonlit garden can threaten the well being of a nation is up to the reader to find out as they read this wonderful story.

Summary: another fascinating Victorian mystery
Comment: After exposing the workings of the Inner Circle, Thomas Pitt was fired as superintendent of Bow Street. For his and his family's sake he went to work for Special Branch, a top secret agency charged with keeping Great Britain safe from its' enemies. His latest case involves an Egyptian woman, Ayesha Zakhari, the mistress of cabinet minister Saville Ryerson.
The police believe that Ayesha shot and killed minor diplomat Edwin Lovatt, her lover when he was stationed in Egypt over a decade ago. Ryerson and Ayesha were disposing the body when the police caught them. The government doesn't want Ryerson implicated in a scandal and he doesn't want his mistress who he loves very much to hang for murder. Pitt's boss sends him to Egypt in the hope of discovering more about the players and if anyone else had a reason to kill Lovatt.
Anne Perry has written another fascinating Victorian mystery and this one is better than most (and that is saying something) because the reader receives an intriguing look at Egypt through the filtered eyes of a veteran foreign police officer. The audience also gain the perspective of how many Egyptians feel towards their British masters. History aside, in SEVEN DIALS, the hero's wife is working on a missing person case that has to do with Pitt's homicide investigation. Watching these two cases intersect is mesmerizing and realistic if one has faith in coincidence.

Summary: Couldn't put it down!
Comment: Find yourself stepping carefully through the sultry, baked-mud streets of Victorian Alexandria, the heady smells of spices and camels and wool rugs swirling around you, as you follow Pitt through a completely unexpected adventure in Egypt. The British have control of the country and the precious Suez Canal, but only just. The undercurrents of hatred, violence, and revolution boil to the surface, enveloping Pitt and landing him in an Egyptian jail with unlikely cellmates. The roiling flames chase Pitt back to London where he, Charlotte, and Narraway try to piece together who killed a former soldier and, more importantly, why. Was it to undermine the cotton industry, stolen from Egypt to flourish in Britain? Was it to bring down an important government official? Was it to pay back debts long owed? Or was it because of a secret so insidious that it could bring a bloody end to both the British rule of Egypt and the irreplaceable British trade routes through the Suez? As international intrigue threatens the government, an intrigue of a different sort envelops Gracie and Tellman. From the beginning through the last breathless page, the heart-stopping action and heart-rending emotion doesn't stop. The plot twists come unexpectedly, skillfully crafted by an author who never ceases to please. You'll not want to put this one down!
