Does the murder of a young woman have a religious cause?

Anne Perry''s Brunswick Gardens delves deep into the politics of the church, uncovering thwarted ambitions, unfulfilled promises and frustrated passions amid murder. Perfect for fans of C. J. Samson and Ann Granger.


''Beautifully crafted, filled with the gaslit atmosphere of a bygone world'' - Cosmopolitan

In London''s affluent Brunswick Gardens, the battle over Charles Darwin''s revolutionary theory of evolution intensifies as the respected Reverend Parmenter is boldly challenged by his beautiful assistant, Unity Bellwood - a ''new woman'' whose feminism and aggressive Darwinism he finds appalling. When Unity, three months pregnant, tumbles down a staircase to her death, Superintendent Thomas Pitt is certain that one of the three deeply devout men in the house committed murder. Could it have been the Reverend Parmenter? His handsome curate? Or his son, a fervent Roman Catholic? Pitt and his clever wife, Charlotte, will refuse to settle for less than the truth - or less than justice.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Anne Perry

Anne Perry nasce em Outubro de 1938 em Londres e viveu no estrangeiro durante alguns anos, antes de se instalar na sua actual casa em Portahomack, na Escócia.
É considerada uma das mais conceituadas escritoras da literatura policial das últimas décadas. No centro das suas histórias encontra-se a Inglaterra vitoriana, fechada como um casulo, num conjunto de rígidas regras de conduta social.
Escreve duas séries distintas, uma protagonizada por Thomas Pitt, um detective da polícia de origem social modesta, e por Charlotte, uma jovem de boas famílias, e a outra pelo detective amnésico William Monk. Ambas as séries são inspiradas em personalidades da época e os casos em que os detectives se envolvem conservam reminiscências de crimes realmente acontecidos.
Anne Perry desvenda-nos, de forma magistral, todo o complexo universo vitoriano.
