Title: Royalist Pap - Baroness Orczy would be proud
Review: Well, Anne Perry has done it again. She has written another bad Thomas and Charlotte Pitt book. I think I will stick to her other series. Perry used to write good, thought provoking books on the hypocrasies and horrors of Victorian society. This book is about how to preserve the status quo. The evils of change. Baroness Orczy would love the book, which glorifies the Royal family, even while admitting that they are nothing more than useless drains on the budget. But they provide "glamour", so let's keep them. Gag. And the people who would like to get rid of them, and set up a more equalitarian society, are portrayed as power-hungry monsters. Pitt and Charlotte used to care about the little people. No more. They have become reactionaries bent on preserving the status quo. I guess once Pitt became a fairly wealthy man, he forgot his roots. What a shame. Oh well, there's always William and Hester.
