Pretty good victorian police procedural/Thomas & Charlotte Pitt try to solve a current murder that turns on a five year old murder that appeared at the time to be open & shut but clearly was not. El juez Stafford ha sido envenenado con opio y el inspector Pitt es el encargado de investigar este crimen, asunto que cada vez se va haciendo más y más complejo, pues tropezará con una serie de tramas sentimentales entre sus amigos y conocidos, con las contradicciones de la justicia, con el antisemitismo latente en la sociedad victoriana y con las peculiaridades del mundo teatral. Y a medida que sigue investigando, el inspector Pitt irá recomponiendo una triste historia familiar...Es esta una emocionante historia de intriga que nos sumergirá de lleno en el Londres de la época victoriana y el ingenioso método detectivesco de nuestro protagonista... Farriers' Lane is a very long book. The mood was set in the beginning and continued until the end. The story could be followed because the descriptions were good. The book was exceedingly annoying because of the racial slurs. Perhaps because the story took place in 1800s England, and the story itself had to do with racism, the author felt that it was okay to constantly refer to certain people in a negative way. Consequently, this book was awarded a solid three stars in this review. Inspector Pitt and his wife, Charlotte, work to solve the murder of an appellate court judge, which further leads to retracing the investigation of an older more heinous murder of a gentleman who had been having an affair with an actress. Inspector Pitt must determine whether there is a connection between the two murders and whether or not the man hanged for the initial murder truly had been guilty. In Farriers’ Lane, Anne Perry touched upon prejudice and the restrictions society places on love. This was an intriguing mystery, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Au cours d'une soirée théâtrale, le juge Stafford meurt soudainement. L'autopsie montre qu'il a été empoisonné. Et si cette mort était liée à celle d'un acteur, cinq ans auparavant ? Une intrigue originale, qui mêle bas-fonds et haute société londonienne, accointances politiques et antisémitisme quotidien et voit apparaître le figure d'Oscar Wilde. On regrette cependant certaines longueurs, même si elles reflètent les difficultés de l'enquête. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
When the distinguished Mr. Justice Stafford dies of opium poisoning, his shocking demise resurrects one of the most sensational cases ever to inflame England: the murder five years before of Kingsley Blaine, whose body was found crucified in Farriers Lane. Amid the public hysteria for revenge, the police had arrested a Jewish actor who was soon condemned to hang. Police Inspector Thomas Pitt, investigating Stafford's death, is drawn into the Farriers Lane murder as well, for it appears that Stafford may have been about to reopen the case. Pitt receives curiously little help from his colleagues on the force, but his wife, Charlotte, gleans from her social engagements startling insights into both cases. And slowly both Thomas and Charlotte begin to reach for the same sinister and deeply dangerous truth. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
