Belgrave Square by Anne Perry

Was this one more enjoyable than others in the series I've read recently? I think so. But it is all becoming kind of a blur.
Thomas Pitt as usual takes certain things at face value, even though your average 8-year-old with a spy/detective kit would know to question those things. Basically a given character we will call So-and-so tells Pitt some version of a story. If Pitt were to question that version then the book would end somewhere around page 21. Therefore Pitt must spend the next 350 or so pages operating as if So-and-so's word must absolutely be fact.
He also walks away from conversations wondering things that he could easily have asked right there in the conversation from which he is walking away.
It is all very frustrating at times. Nevertheless, I persist.
