Dear Cindy and Perry Fans,
It's a tough call, but in my library, Monk has a slight edge over Pitt, but
I'm guessing you'll like Pitt better. Monk is somewhat darker. His character
is far more complex and he operates in lower class circles. He suffers
severe amnesia, so when he resumes his life as a more considerate
individual, he is frequently confronted with people who recall his original
persona and thus treat him accordingly which is more negatively than his
present behavior warrants. It can be harsh for him to learn about his past
through the attitudes of those who knew him when. His wife is very socially
conscious and a worthwhile character to follow as is Pitt's wife. Perry
started a third series set, I think, during WW I, or was it II? Obviously
that one didn't capture my imagination or I'd remember. I greatly admire
Perry's depth of knowledge of life in nineteenth century England in city,
town or country and on all class levels. She engages us in drama from
relationships between people to conflicts between political powers. And, did
I mention her series characters are appealing and her mysteries complex?
In other words, thanks to all of you who are adding to the Perry collection!
Always with love,
Lissi

Me, too. I'm reading Resurrrection Row now. It helps
so much to read the series in order because characters
from earlier books appear in later ones.
Perry has written another series with the protagonist
William Monk, who is either a private investigator or
a Thames River policeman--or was first one and then
the other (from reading annotations in my library
catalog), also set in 19th century England. I checked
our collection and we have a few of those, but I
haven't read any yet. Jim, I see you submitted or
validated them. Are they as enjoyable as the Thomas
and Charlotte Pitt mysteries?For those of you who like
mysteries, these aren't scary but are fun and have
satirical humor much like Jane Austen's books.

I enjoy reading books in order, so that is why I
like to have the whole
set before I start reading the series.
