Very good Thomas/Charlotte Pitt En una regia casa de campo, Ashworth Hall, está a punto de iniciarse una fatídica reunión secreta. Aunque dicha reunión tiene toda la apariencia de una elegante fiesta campestre, los invitados son políticos irlandeses congregados para entablar conversaciones sobre el espinoso tema de la independencia de Irlanda. Cuando Ainsley Greville, moderador de la reunión y alto funcionario del gobierno británico, aparece asesinado, las negociaciones parecen condenadas al fracaso. En esas mismas fechas se hace público un escándalo amoroso de Parnell, el líder nacionalista irlandés, y el inminente final de su carrera política agrava las tensiones entre los negociadores. Para colmo, el difunto Greville tenía una turbulenta vida amorosa a espaldas de su mujer. A menos que el inspector Pitt y su sagaz esposa Charlotte consigan averiguar la verdad, una guerra civil puede arrasar el país... I love Anne Perry. I will read everything she writes. I confess it may be my ignorance about the struggles between the Irish Protestants and Catholics during this time period. However, I found it such a struggle to keep the characters straight in this story. Although I understood the premise, it did not keep my interest and the mystery got lost. Since I found it hard to keep the characters straight, I did not become interested in their outcome nor was I sure who actually was the person who committed the crime. Perhaps someone else will have better luck with this one, it wasn't for me. It will not, however, stop me from reading Anne Perry. La guerre civile menace en Irlande. Pour essayer de désamorcer la crise, une conférence est organisée à Ashworth Hall. Thomas Pitt est son épouse y sont invités incognito pour y assurer la sécurité. Un huis-clos tendu, une enquête menée de main de maître par des personnages bien campés. Un des très bon opus de la série. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

When a group of powerful Irish Protestants and Catholics gather at a country house to discuss Irish home rule, contention is to be expected. But when the meeting's moderator, government bigwig Ainsley Greville, is found murdered in his bath, negotiations seem doomed. Unless Superintendent Thomas Pitt and his wife, Charlotte, can root out the truth, simmering hatreds and passions may again explode in murder. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
