Corridors of the Night by Anne Perry

4.0

---

I've been a huge fan of the Anne Perry novels for more years than I'd like to count. They have a great sense of place and interesting twists. I marvel at the customs of Victorian England and glad I wasn't born during that time but I like to think I would have been like Hester. Her strong spirit and love of her husband are traits I admire in any period. If you haven't read any of the other William Monk stories, you won't understand some of nuances and character development but it's not a requirement to read this book. The medical advancements, or lack of them, put an interesting spin on the story but it's not a classic whodunit. It's not may favorite Anne Perry story but definitely worth reading if you like historical mysteries.
