DESCRIPTION:
A general election is approaching and Thomas is called to monitor the bitter struggle for one crucial London seat. Rose is one of the three participants in a late-night seance held by clairvoyant Maude Lamont, which becomes notorious when Madame Lamont's brutally murdered body is found the next morning. The Tory candidate is Charles Voisey, ruthless Number One of the Inner Circle and old enemy of Pitt. A riveting new Thomas and Charlotte Pitt novel, in which Anne Perry again proves her mastery of the people, the mores, and the politics of the Victorian era she has made her own. To Pitt's heavy burdens is now added the investigation of this baffling crime.
--J. Charles Voisey, leader of a powerful secret society known as the Inner Circle, was defeated by Pitt when he tried (in The Whitechapel Conspiracy) to abolish the British monarchy. Yet Anne Perry's Southampton Row again finds him displaced from his police command, this time to foil the political ambitions of a ruthless republican. While Pitt's wife, Charlotte, and their family are safely out of London on vacation, Pitt, aided by the gruff but dogged Inspector Samuel Tellman, his politically astute sister-in law, and Charlotte's resourceful great-aunt Vespasia, seeks to solve the medium's murder before it can derail Aubrey Serracold's campaign.

We see, hear, smell, taste and feel what the characters experience. These mysteries usually involve a murder or murders, but the reader happens upon the scene after the violence is over. Grisly, but not overtly violent. The same with cases of rape. These are discussed but we are not subjected t. Another fine outing with Charlotte and Thomes's band of friends. carol storm Although this was not the last book in this series, it is in fact for me. I've read everyone and had to go back to this one that somehow I missed. Perhaps I can start to get my house ready for the winter to come. I have been held captive for the past couple weeks finishing the last 6 books in this series. I can't tell you how desolate I feel. I do hope that Ms. Perry is busy writ
