Long Spoon Lane: A Charlotte and Thomas Pitt Novel (Charlotte and Thomas Pitt Series Book 24)

I have enjoyed the Thomas and Charlotte Pitt series for over twenty years now and I finally read themall except this one, which was the last one I hadn't read (barring any new ones to come out). Aftera bombing, Thomas Pitt must find out who killed a young man that was from a well-known family. Whywas he targeted? Well hidden secrets seek to stop Pitt in his tracks. Can he find the culprit or will he dietrying? Must read.

As much as I enjoy Anne Perry's novels, the formatting by Ballantine Books is much worse than usual. I'm quite accustomed to the many, many typos throughout these e-books. However, this one doesn't even have a table of contents listed in the drop down menu. Seriously, no table of contents? Anne Perry's work deserves better than this.

Anne Perry's mysteries do not appeal to many mystery readers. I find Perry's Pitt mysteries very interesting. I have read all of them to date. I would not recommend reading this book as an introduction to the series. To me, a large part of my ongoing interest in the series is the growth not just in the Pitts, but in a number of of other characters.

I love Anne Perry. This book was really good. I always enjoy reading her books and most of all when she explains the areas of london you can see it and feel like your there

I truly enjoyed this book. Anne Perry is an exceptional writer. In addition to spinning an intriguing mystery, she also weaves a picture of Victorian England that makes you feel as if you were there. If you are a fan of English history and a mystery buff, Thomas and Charlotte Pitt will be right up your Long Spoon Lane! I strongly encourage you to read the books in order so that you can see the progression of history unfold! Enjoy!

Thomas Pitt solves another very involved mystery, while facing danger for himself.

I always enjoy the Charlotte and Thomas Pitt books. They always hold my attention until the surprising ending.

It is a very interesting story, best read for long period. Difficult to pick up and put down without reviewing.

Pitt makes an alliance of sorts with the obnoxious Voisey - an alliance which makes the reader uneasy from start to finish. Voisey is not to be trusted. The awesome Vespasia plays a prominent part - those she doesn't know in high circles aren't worth knowing. She's adorable but it takes a leap of imagination to picture her around the kitchen table with Gracie and Charlotte in their little terrace in Keppel Street.Perry gives us another intricate plot which moves with her usual speed; lots of little fashion details, references to streets in the East End and lots of insight into working class life at the end of 19c.Perry's research is phenomenal and her interpretation and methodology most efficient. I am a graduate of History and have taught this period to A Level for very many years so this is not false praise. She is quite exceptional in her ability to craft a complex plot with wholesome characters in a fascinating period/location.I can barely wait for Pitt's next adventure.

Gripping plot with all the old adversaries involved. Much intrigue and betrayal with the awful Voisey and Werton involved up to their corrupt necks. With the assistance of Gracie,Vespasia, Charlotte and Tellman pitting their wits, a very satisfactory conclusion to another great book in the Pitt series.
