A review by meganstreb
The Cater Street Hangman by Anne Perry

2.0

It felt like a book on Victorian social etiquette more than a murder mystery, with the social norms really shoved down your throat. A bit bizarre to have almost all the scenes take place in the drawing room -- it felt so removed from the actual story of the hangman, but perhaps that's the idea? Women only as involved as convention would allow.
Maybe it's more accurate about what involvement a woman was like to have than Veronica Speedwell or Charlotte Holmes. But it didn't do it for me.
