A review by shoelessmama
Brunswick Gardens by Anne Perry

4.0

I figured out who the villain was just before something huge happened that basically confirmed my suspicion. Figuring out a mystery before the end sometimes ruins it but in this case it made the last 100 pages (ish) even more enjoyable. I do think that this series is starting to get on the longer side and she could trim most of the books down to 250-300 pages compared to the 400 that this was. I like how Perry mixes in elements that are political, societal, or historically driven. While her mysteries are more of a character study than anything I really like how much we learn about the culture of Victorian England. It was nice to have a more domestic crime this time around, with a little religion vs. science mixed in.
