Negative Positive
Title: sorely disappointed!
Review: I am a great fan of Anne Perry but had difficulty finishing this book. Perry's mysteries dealing with Thomas and Charlotte Pitt have recently been sliding in originalty and suspense. This book centers around the murder of Unity Bellwood, a classic's scholar who is found dead after apparently being pushed down the staircase in her employer's home. Charlotte and her usually familiar partners in detection are notably absent. Instead the book concentrates on the boring lamentations of the suspects in the house. I found the dialogue boring and there was no other action to speak of until the last fourth of the book. I am so disgusted with her recent caliber of writing that this one might be my last.
