A review by alliepeduto
The Cater Street Hangman by Anne Perry

3.0

So this was the first book I have read after hearing Anne Perry speak on her writing process, and a lot of how she frames the story makes more sense to me now. Unfortunately I can say with confidence that it's not necessarily my preference. Both books I've read by her have ended so abruptly, without any sort of explanation of how it got to that point. I guess she just leaves it up to imagination, but for such a long winded mystery you think the author would take the time to explain it. Granted, I've read only the first books in each of Anne Perry's famous series, so maybe it develops over the course of the books (I find a lot of writers, particularly mystery writers, take some time to find their groove), but for now I'll hold off on discovering that myself.
