Defend and Betray by Anne Perry

3.0

I liked this next book in the Monk series. This case is particularly sordid, but seemed a little obvious. The ending has a few surprises that I didn't see coming and enough misdirection that one of the villains I didn't suspect at all. It's a harsh commentary on Victorian England, especially concerning the rights of women and children. I recommend this though the case does involved some especially heinous crimes. As always, the narrator was fabulous.
