A Sudden Fearful Death

Anne Perry is amazing. She never seems to run out of ideas that are thought provoking and fascinating. I always look forward to every new book she writes.

Very suspenseful

Anne Perry keeps you guessing from the first page. What an imagination!

Read this book.

It has everything an absorbing suspenseful victorian mystery could possess and it has extreme relevance to our mutual modern lives. History: it is unbiased history made up as fiction. Life manners pain and hypocrisy in the century behind us but all of this is still happening right now. Do not read if reality offends you.

A strange book

When I began the book (with the problem of Marianne) it obviously had five stars, when you finish that part you won't understand why it was written in so many pages and it really doesn't have to do anything with the book, so the book has now four stars, in the middle of the book, when you see why it was written the [beginning], the book has only three stars ..., and that keeps during all the judgment of the doctor (I won't tell you which one because I will tell you the story), but when the judgment is almost over, when you almost finish the book you will see that this is definitely a five stars book, And when you read the last chapter you will see that you will recommend this book to your friends.
