Recent revelations about Perry's past--as a young girl in Australia, she was convicted of killing her best friend's mother--will generate additional hype for her newest book, another entry in her popular Thomas and Charlotte Pitt mystery series. The book hit stores early--no doubt to capitalize on the "convicted murderess" brouhaha--and has been chosen as a Book-of-the-Month Club main selection. But Perry is not just some flash-in-the-pan writer whose publicists decided to take advantage of a media scoop. To fans of the historical mystery, she's one of the masters of the genre. Her latest story, set as usual in turn-of-the-century London, has Inspector Thomas Pitt and his wife, Charlotte, investigating the mysterious death of Thomas' mentor, Sir Arthur Desmond. The death has been ruled a suicide, but Sir Arthur's son is convinced his father was murdered for attempting to expose treason in the Colonial Office. Thomas and Charlotte begin to suspect that the nefarious Inner Circle, a group of highly influential but dangerously corrupt men, may be responsible for the killing. Perry's fascinating details of Victorian social customs, dress, language, politics, and behavior plus her usual engrossing plot virtually guarantee the success of another fine entry in an outstanding series.
