Execution Dock
By: Anne Perry

Anne Perry certainly is familiar with the sordid side of England's past. Her stories are absorbing but disturbing. Obviously Britain was too busy expanding the empire to care much for the folks at home.

The author portrays her characters as seen by others very well - almost too well at times. Does anyone really have all those incisive accurate insights? Is it that Perry can capture those fleeting, almost unconscious thoughts while most of us may react to but not fully recognize and express them in writing?

This book will keep you up way past your bedtime. I look forward to reading more of Monk, Hester, and their allies in their suspenseful exploits in the name of justice.
