A review by amibunk
The Face of a Stranger by Anne Perry

3.0

I am pretty sure that Anne Perry is the high priestess of Victorian mystery fiction. If such an office were to exist. No one describes the squalor, the injustice, the moral decay and the polar extremes of the British Victorian era better. "The Face of a Stranger" is the first in the William Monk series. While not my favorite, it does lay a solid foundation and good starting point for future novels.
