Callander Square

By: Anne Perry

Narrated by: Davina Porter

Callander Square is the second of Anne Perry's Charlotte and Thomas Pitt mysteries. Full of well-drawn and convincing characters, Callander Square offers a finely crafted recreation of Victorian England. The bodies of two newborn babies have been found in a park in the fashionable London neighborhood of Callander Square. While Inspector Thomas Pitt is fighting to get the square's aristocratic residents to speak with him, his pretty, well-born wife Charlotte decides to do some detective work of her own. Soon she is unearthing secrets in every house on the square while Thomas tries to discover what would drive a person to murder.©1980 Anne Perry

Anne Perry mysteries are the best!

Gripping storyline with a puzzle piece missing until the very end! Also, because this story is set around the turn of the twentieth century, it doesn't have the incongruities of a contemporary novel written in the 1980s.

Love the Pitt mysteries

These stories are engaging and give a brief glimpse into another time. I love series that let you keep on with characters you’ve grown fond of.

Thomas and Charlotte Pitt..

The main characters, the complicated story, and the convincing narratives are powerful. Pitt and Charlotte present a strong relationship.

Complex characters, plot; Flawless narration

I enjoy Anne Perry's stories, and can't get enough of Davina Porter's narrations. I found the entire series to be fun "reading"!
