Dorchester Terrace

A Charlotte and Thomas Pitt Novel

By: Anne Perry

Narrated by: Amy Scanlon

Thomas Pitt is now the powerful head of Britain’s Special Branch, and some people fear that he may have been promoted beyond his abilities. His own self-doubt is fueled by rumors of a plot to blow up connections on the Dover–London rail line, on which Austrian duke Alois Habsburg is soon to travel. But why destroy an entire train to kill one obscure Austrian royal? Are the rumors designed to distract police from an even more devastating plot? Meanwhile, in a London sickroom, an old Italian woman is terrified that as she sinks into dementia, she may divulge secrets from her career as a revolutionary spy. And behind the doors of a stately manor, a beautiful young Croatian woman hoards mysteries of her own. Pitt and his clever wife, Charlotte, need these two fascinating women to tell them things they desperately need to know—before death and terror ignite an international catastrophe.

Another good story from Ann Perry

The story is a good one, much like many others. The reader leaves much to be desired.

Another great book by Anne Perry

Anne Perry has become my favorite author. She knows how to write so the reader stays engaged in the story. With other authors, I find myself fast forwarding to keep my interest in the story. The Thomas Pitt series , along with all her other series, is excellent.

Good writing keeps me coming back

International intrigue and spying has never been as interesting as crime and punishment. But I have learned to care for these characters over the course of more than 20 books and I will soldier on. I also will note that Davina Porter is the narrator for the next installment. That brings me great joy.

Perry at her best

Well written, complex. I’ve enjoyed to development of all the characters throughout the series. Great reader..
