The mystery here is interesting, but it’s the main reason that the plot is slow-going. Things didn’t become really interesting until Monk started putting the pieces together and remembering things, and that’s more than 3/4 of the way through the book. My only other experience with Anne Perry is her Thomas and Charlotte Pitt novels, and I didn’t think this was quite as good. I’ll read more in the series because I really like a good historical mystery, but I’m going to have to work my way into the next one.
