Summary: 4 Stars
This is one of the better entries in the series of Victorian murder mysteries featuring Inspector Thomas Pitt of the Metropolitan Police and his meddling wife, Charlotte. This time it's a death by arson in the affluent London suburb of Highgate. The victim is the wife of a local physician who escaped by being out on a call -- but was it really him they were after? There's a singular lack of clues and the local police are annoyed at Pitt's being called in anyway, so it's a particularly tough case. Charlotte and her sister, Emily, involve themselves by attending funerals and memorials and asking leading questions -- their usual m.o., in fact. Perry always includes a social issue to fulminate against and this time it's the profits made by aristocratic families from ownership of slum tenements. The Inner Circle appears, too, but only peripherally, which was a good decision on the author's part.
Summary of Highgate Rise: Unabrdiged
"Perry gets the Victorian mood just right...Settle in with this one on a rainy day."BOOKLIST
Clemency Shaw, the wife of a prominent doctor, has died in a tragic fire. But whether the blaze was set by an arsonist aiming for the doctor, or set by the doctor himself, Inspector Thomas Pitt isn't certain. With the scarcity of clues, Pitt turns to Clemency's stuffy, but distinguished, relatives. Meanwhile, Pitt's wellborn wife, Charlotte, retraces the dangerous path that Clemency walked the last months of her life, and finds herself enmeshed in a sinister web that stretches from the lowest slums to the loftiest centers of power....
