    About this audiobook

    Fourth in the series of Charlotte and Thomas Pitt mysteries, Anne Perry's Resurrection Row explores the dark undercurrents that run through the lives of the idle rich in Victorian England. After a wonderful night at the theatre, Thomas and Charlotte find themselves confronted with a corpse in the driver's seat of a hansom cab. Even more shocking-it is the body of a peer of the realm who had been decently buried the week before. While the doctor insists Lord Fitzroy-Hammond died a natural death, the Pitts find the situation anything but natural. Determined to get to the bottom of things, Inspector Pitt begins his investigation within the proper channels while his intrepid wife Charlotte renews a tie from her past to get inside Lord Fitzroy-Hammond's world. But as they dig their way closer the truth, they find themselves in danger from forces who will do anything to keep it buried.

      Inspector Pitt investigates the cases of the dead bodies, that is disintered bodies that have buried for a few weeks, have been dug up and now appear in various places. But why theses bodies, what is the motive.
      Another enjoyable well-written Victorian mystery in this series with its cast of likeable characters.
    • 4/5
      This is the 4th book in the Charlotte and William Pitt series. I begrudgingly gave the extra 1/2 star to rate Resurrection Ro as 3 1/2 Stars, For this reader, the setting and characters are what keeps me interested in this series, followed by the mystery. In this book, Inspector Pitt takes the lead role with Charlotte as support. The domestic scenes are nicely written and Charlotte is becoming more well-developed and mature. I do wish the poor man could find some waterproof boots and clothing, he's always uncomfortablely soaked. We spend more delightful time with Aunt Vespasia.As to the mystery, while the plot is creative, it is a bit confusing and the reader's ability to deduce the killer is hampered This makes for a less enjoyable reading experience. As usual, Perry chooses to solve the murder in the final chapter with an abruptness that is starting to leave this reader unsatisfied. Finally, in the previous books, I enjoyed reading about the social conditions, values and morality of the era. However, I found the author unnecessarily preachy and repetitive here. It was off-putting to me. I will continue with the next title, but my enjoyment of this series has gradually been declining, though the writing itself is still very good.
    • 2/5
      4th in the Charlotte & Thomas Pitt mystery series, this volume begins when a cabbie falls off his perch on a cab only to have our intrepid duo to discover that he is not only dead, but has been exhumed from his grave. The corpse, the former Lord Augustus Fitzroy-Hammond conveniently lives on the same street as Aunt Vespacia who has conveniently moved from Paragon Walk after the previous murder in the previous book of the same name. Charlotte's sisters husband, Dominic Corde also makes an appearance and there is a lot of extraneous nonsense about a bill before Parliament to help the poor living in the slums.All in all, this is a decidedly confusing story, and while only 216 pages long, it could have been even shorter, if Perry had cut out the bits of the plot that ad very little to the story.
    • 3/5
      I am on a Ferris wheel that cannot stop, and therefore I have finished number 4 of the Charlotte and Thomas Pitt series. Charlotte plays a very minor role in this story, but Aunt Vespasia returns. The story centers on corpses tuning up in unlikely place, and one poor corpse must be buried 3 times. Thomas must find the grave robber and the reason for this ghastly deed. Perry evicts talking of fashion in this novel, but spends much time on the plight of the uneducated and poor that frequent the workhouses. When one of the corpses happens to be an artist thought to be visiting Paris, the investigation sizzles. Perry omits much in this novel that sets her apart, such as characterization and setting. The emphasis rests on a few wealthy people attempting to pass legislation to aid the poor citizens of England.
    • 4/5
      I'm not sure the characters actions were quite logical but Perry has a nice mix of things going on in Victorian London. She made her point about workhouses by showing things not going off onto sermons. Made me think about third world conditions today.
    • 5/5
      Really a good read; much information about Victorian social morals and life of the average as well as the advantaged person./
    • 4/5
      Another fabulous Pitt mystery by Anne Perry, the fourth in the series. And the reader is off to the races beginning on the first page when two of the folks hailing a cab get more than they bargained for, an astonished horse and a corpse who’s been there, done that, now dug up, and posed as a cabby. A creative if improbable beginning. And the reader settles in. Not only are the dead again exposed, but the manners and mores, the pretenses and hypocrisies of Victorian society.As is always the case with a Perry mystery, history is meticulously researched, a sense of place evoked in rich detail, and all characters memorable. Thomas and Charlotte Pitt are richly drawn as is Aunt Vespasia making her second appearance, and playing a greater role, teaming up with Charlotte to help Pitt’s investigation. In the last sentence of the book, the perp is arrested.This was one of my favorite reads in the Thomas and Charlotte Pitt mystery series, couldn’t put it down, and any mystery lover interested in Victorian England will love it.
    • 4/5
      Books starts with a corpse, a man who was buried two weeks before, falling out of carriage in front of the theater. Thomas Pitt is assigned to investigate and starts interviewing all the friends and relatives of the deceased and then another corpse is found in a church pew, but in the end it's Charlotte who points him in the right direction to solve the case. There is a subplot involving child labor and workhouse conditions in Victorian London.
