Iscriviti per consentire a LibraryThing di scoprire se ti piacerà questo libro. Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. M. Gardiner, la prometida de un rico heredero, es la principal sospechosa del asesinato del conductor del carromato en que viajaba. Resulta difícil entender por qué una joven con un brillante futuro cometería un acto similar. El enigma desembocará en los tribunales, donde el abogado O. Rathbone, asesorado por W. Monk y su esposa Hester, deberá invertir toda su sagacidad para defender a una mujer que está dispuesta a aceptar la horca antes que desvelar un secreto del pasado. When a missing fiancee becomes a murder investigation, Monk and Hester, now married, are embroiled and must find the real murderer. Missing drugs at the hospital where Hester now volunteers just adds to the mystery. This series has really hit its stride now. The last few books have been excellent, and this one is great. There are many twists and turns, only resolved in the last few pages. As always, Ms. Perry incorporates some social history into the story; here we see how veteran soldiers and sailors are treated after their time of service has occurred, something that unfortunately still happens in our own time. I was glad to see Oliver Rathbone again and find out how he was dealing with Hester's marriage to Monk. I also liked the introduction of the new police sergeant Robb and hope to see him in future books in the series. Ms. Perry is an excellent writer, very detailed in her descriptions and accurate in her history. This is another fine book in this great series. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

The author masterfully addresses the lack of care and concern for older and impoverished veterans. ( )
