Highgate Rise (1992)
Anne Perry is one of the authors I routinely look for at book sales, and so I read rather old titles such as this one from 1991. I like her Thomas and Charlotte Pitt very much. They are a loving couple who understand each other, and although Pitt is a cop and their income is low, Charlotte is o...
Belgrave Square (2015)
So I want to start out by saying I read this as an unabridged audiobook. The narrator was Devina Porter – so far she has narrated every Thomas Pitt novel I have listened to and she does a fantastic job. My husband got me into the Charlotte and Thomas Pitt series this past year. He loves good myst...
The Cater Street Hangman (1985)
The Cater Street Hangman is the first Charlotte & Inspector Pitt novel by Anne Perry. I had read some of the Pitt mysteries as a teenager and thought I might start at the beginning of the series and read them through. I remembered being fascinated by them at the time, but memory isn't always reli...
Rutland Place (1984)

Seven Dials (2004)
23rd in the series. It was a bit harder for me to get into this one, though the entertainment level picked up when Thomas was sent to Alexandria, Egypt, to do some investigating there, as the Special Branches case he is called in on involves an exotic Egyptian beauty with brains caught removing ...
Resurrection Row (1986)
Fourth in the Charlotte & Thomas Pitt historical mystery series set in Victorian England and revolving around an unlikely couple.My TakeTwisty. Perry sure went to a lot of work on this one. It's foot-slogging having to go back over and over again. Dealing with the same people as Pitt continues to...

The Hyde Park Headsman (1995)

Half Moon Street (2001)
Done. Done. Complete. Finished. Fini. Fin. Adios. Au Revoir. Auf Wiedersehen Adios. Ba-Bye. Toodles. Going. Going. Gone!!Omg I couldn't wait to finish this thing! Let me be completely frank here.. this is a prime example of extreme wordiness getting in the way of what could have possibly been a g...
Pentecost Alley (1997)
16th in the series. As is often the case, there is quite a dramatic crescendo at the ending of this installment, and several plot turns and twists to sustain curiosity. As I enjoy so much consistently in the series, we get plenty of details of social behavior, etiquette, and accepted rules of i...

Long Spoon Lane (2006)
A decent read, although if you picked this up as your first Anne Perry/Thomas Pitt book, like me, you might find yourself rather confused. There are numerous references thrown in to events in previous novels, and most of the main characters had a lot of history together that is only vaguely hinte...
Bluegate Fields (1985)
Bluegate Fields go a bit deeper in the Victorian underworld than most of Charlotte and Pitt's stories. Unlike the previous story where Charlotte and her family took center stage, in this one it is Pitt, his boss and his young colleague who are the primary investigators. Charlotte is still a much ...

Ashworth Hall (1997)
Patron Review:This mystery is one of a series of Anne Perry's who-dunnits that features the Scotland Yard detective, Thomas Pitt, and his wife Charlotte.l Her mysteries are really interesting because they are, at the same time, historical novels that recreate life in late 19th and early 20th cen...

Ce livre fait partie de la saga « Charlotte et Thomas Pitt » et c’en est même le 19ème opus !

Southampton Row (2002)
