title: An Echo of Murder: A William Monk Novel
author:  Anne Perry 
description: [Anne] Perry fashions a rich, if blood-spattered narrative from this chapter of history. As the murders [of Hungarians] continue, Monk and his clever wife, Hester . . . struggle to fathom the new climate of hatred. I think its fear, Hester says. Its fear of ideas, things that arent the way youre used to. Everyone you dont understand because their language is different, their food, but above all their religion. How times havent changed.<b><i>The New York Times Book Review</i></b><br /><br />Skillful . . . [Anne] Perry smoothly intertwines themeswars lingering cost, tension around immigration and othernessthat challenge in both her period and our own. Her gritty depictions of Victorian medicine at home and on the battlefield ground the story in wrenching realism.<b><i>Publishers Weekly</i></b><br /><br />An atmospheric whodunit, which awakens London to tumultuous, compelling life . . . This latest installment in the William Monk series resounds with the great Victorian classics, Stevensons<i>Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde</i>, Dickenss<i>Edwin Drood</i>, and Stokers<i>Dracula</i>.<b><i>Historical Novels Review</i></b>
