Not since the bloody deeds of Jack the Ripper have Londoners felt such terror as that aroused by the gruesome beheadings in Hyde Park. And if newly promoted Police Superintendent Thomas Pitt does not quickly apprehend the perpetrator, he is likely to lose his own head, professionally speaking. Yet even with the help of Charlotte Pitt’s subtle investigation, the sinister violence continues unchecked. And in a shocking turn of events that nearly convinces the pair of sleuths that they have met their match, the case proves to be Pitt’s toughest ever.

But I would have enjoyed a bit faster pace by the reader. Still quite fine recording.

Great story

After reading a few other reviews and listening to samples, I chose not to continue this series after Davina Porter left off narrating. But then some of these were offered free and I gave a listen, and I like Sterlin's narration just fine. Thomas is a bit sluggish, but overall, it's just as good. I found the ending of this one a bit ridiculous. I don't know what the laws were back then, but today a good lawyer could rip the case apart after Lucy and Ethel pulled such a stunt. It also doesn't look good for Thomas, in my opinion, that his wife does a lot of the detecting. But all ended well, just as it always does.

I like Jenny Sterlin

I enjoyed the plot twists of the story. The narration lacks flair but if you listen at 1.15 speed it is better.

Great story, weak narration

I always find this author's work very interesting and part because of the attention to historical detail and, of course, because the mysteries are exciting. again I recommend highly.

another of Ann Perry's very interesting mysteries

As the title suggests the murders are gruesome and Thomas Pitt, recently promoted, has more than just murders to deal with as those who work for him resent him as do his superiors who think he's not up to the job. And he and Charlotte have bought a new house, depending on his raise. And then there's sister Emily's husband Jack running for political office and Mama's ongoing relationship with an actor. With her historical insights into late Victorian London and well developed characters, Perry nevertheless weaves into her plot a timeless issue as much a problem today as it was in Victorian times - one which provides a motive for murder!

Charlotte and Thomas Pitt are moving uptown, but also moving into more uncertain business with politics mucking up regular life.
