Legions of Anne Perry fans will know that Thomas Pitt is a fine detective, having followed his progress from inpecunious Inspector to respected Superintendent of Bow Street. Of course, he’s always relied on his Society wife, Charlotte, to help to solve his cases. How did he meet her? How did the unlikeliest of happy marriages begin? The Cater Street Hangman reveals all.
The respectable Ellison family is shaken to the core by the death of its trusted parlourmaid – strangled while the young ladies of the house were out to tea. But the middle daughter, Charlotte – never one to heed sensible advice – determines to find out the truth, and forms an unconventional but effective alliance with the investigating policeman, one Thomas Pitt.
