The Cater Street Hangman

By: Anne Perry

Narrated by: Davina Porter

The Cater Street Hangman is the first of Anne Perry's Charlotte and Thomas Pitt mysteries. Set in the Victorian era, it is an elegant and complex mystery full of well-drawn characters and rich period detail. When a maid in the upper class Ellison household is strangled, Inspector Pitt is called in to investigate. He finds a world ruled by strict manners and social customs, where the inhabitants of the Ellison's neighborhood appear to be more outraged by the thought of scandal than they are by murder. Inspector Pitt finds a most unlikely ally in Charlotte, the Ellison's spirited daughter. But as the murders continue, Charlotte and Pitt find themselves drawn together by more than the investigation.©2005 Linda Lael Miller (P)2007 Recorded Books,LLC

Reader is Davina Porter not the one listed.

The actual reader is Davina Porter. I am not sure how the staff managed to get the name of the narrator wrong.

This is a good introduction to the Pitt series and in many way I have liked this book best of all. Davina Porter is a superb narrator and I find it unfortunate that many of the later books have male narrators.

What I loved most about this book was the articulate language and sentences. The plot was good, but listening to the sweet expression of English was wonderful.

I have been reading the Monk series and was delighted to find another excellent series by Perry. Davina Porter is masterful as always.
