(Genre:Mystery) I am always torn when I read Anne Perry. She writes a great mystery with distinct characters and wonderful attention to detail for the Victorian English culture. But I usually can only read a book or two of hers before I need a break. Her writing usually explores some hidden and dark elements that we usually don't associate with the time period (probably due to the social constraints at the time, not because they didn't exist). I've asked myself while reading her books if murder must always have some dark and unsavory element behind it and I decided that it isn't unlikely, seeing that it IS murder we are discussing after all, which is a very dark subject. This novel is the 5th in Perry's Thomas and Charlotte Pitt series. Charlotte is summoned by her mother (Caroline) to her parent's home in Rutland Place to address a private and potentially embarrassing situation that her mother finds herself in. She had a locket stolen with a picture inside of a secret crush/love. While Charlotte strives to help not only to find the locket but to protect her mother from herself, a murder is committed and Inspector Pitt (Charlotte's husband) is called to investigate. Eventually Charlotte's sister Emily also becomes involved as they become embroiled in the investigation. I didn't care for the resolution to the murder revealed at the very end and the dark reason behind it, but the ride to get there had some entertaining moments and it kept me fully engaged. Here is my favorite "thought provoking" quote from the book. Charlotte is confronting her mother about her mother's infatuation and making the case that she doesn't really know the man and he doesn't really care about her either. He has no idea how seriously Caroline is taking their flirtation because Caroline is feeling a little lonely and overlooked at home by her husband. Charlotte tells her mother that she is just pinning her romantic ideals on this other gentleman without truly knowing him. "We haven't the right to dress anyone else in our dreams and expect them to wear them for us! That isn't love! It's infatuation, and it's childish--and dangerous! Just think how unbearably lonely it must be! Would you like to live with someone who didn't even look at or listen to you, but only used you as a figure of fantasy? Someone to pretend about, someone to make responsible for all your emotions so that they are to blame if you are happy or unhappy? You have no right to do that to anyone else." I thought it was a great argument. Especially since we live in a culture where we often mistakenly label infatuation and passion as "love", which is much deeper and less selfish in nature.
