Callander Square (Charlotte and Thomas Pitt, #2) (Windsor Selection S.) (A Victorian murder mystery)

by Anne Perry

The second novel in the ever-popular series of Victorian whodunits featuring Thomas and Charlotte Pitt, here appearing for the first time in UK paperback. Murders just didn't happen in fashionable, respectable areas like Callander Square -- and yet, there had been two in a short space of time. The police were baffled. But Charlotte Pitt was curious. Inspector Pitt's well-bred wife had not formed the habit of meddling in her husband's business, but something about this case intrigued her -- to the point where she found herself prying into the intimate secrets of the very rich, hearing backstairs gossip that would shock a barmaid, and unearthing truths that could push even the most proper aristocrat to murder.

This was a good second entry in the series, but I feel like Thomas Pitt is just a secondary character. I was hoping to see more of him in this book, since the first was primarily focused on Charlotte. I’d like to see more interaction between him and Charlotte in their private lives. The mystery was solid, though.
