Sue's Reviews > Rutland Place

Charlotte Pitt's mother, Caroline, is hiding a secret and when there's a murder in Rutland Place where she lives, it's up to Charlotte to help not only her mother but also her husband, Thomas, who is called in to investigate. The structure of society and its rules dominate this Victorian mystery and the keen insights into mores and the period detail are fun to read. The unspoken assumptions among the upper classes make for intriguing mystery.
