   Nenhum(a) Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro.   ) MystereityReviews | Mar 11, 2016 |  Mr. Monk is a police detective in 1850s London. Ms. Perry describes the Dickensian scenes very well, and the reader is drawn into the scenes: the busy street life, the pubs, the overwhelming and frightening ghettoes, as well as the luxuries of the upper classes. The endings were completely surprising, uncomfortably so. Given to a new friend when we met for coffee. (  ) FancyHorse | Jan 16, 2015 | ) katejhansen | Nov 20, 2012 | As he slowly begins to piece bits of his life and small bits of his memory back together, he is handed a case that requires him to move among the gentry with extreme delicacy. As the case unfolds, he uncovers some shocking clues to his own past - clues which could well end his future. I enjoyed this book immensely. Monk seems to me to be one of the most complex sleuths since Sherlock Holmes. I've read some of Anne Perry's other series, the Thomas and Charlotte Pitt novels, which I also enjoyed, and I've read several of her Christmas books, which I love, but this is the most well-crafted of them all. I'm glad that there are umpteen more books in this series. I intend to eventually read them all. I hope they are all so strong. *This book is also the first in my William Monk Mysteries: The First Three Novels omnibus edition. I am only reviewing the first right now.
