How will there be: Three Debts Paid

A Daniel Pitt Novel

by Anne Perry

#ThreeDebtsPaid #NetGalley

I very much enjoyed Perry’s Thomas and Charlotte Pitt series and have read all the titles. Thomas and Charlotte also feature, though to a lesser extent, in this newer series about their son, Daniel. Daniel works in a British law firm where he is a barrister. His latest case has been brought to him by Ian Frobisher who is in the police force and whom Daniel knows from Cambridge University. The case involves an assault made by a Modern History professor who lost his temper when accused of plagiarism.

At the same time, there is a killer on the streets of London. The killer has a distinct way of marking his victims and people are in fear of this “Rainy Day Killer.” Frobisher is working to solve this case.

His work brings Frobisher into contact with Miriam Fforde Croft. She is one of very few women pathologists in London and a friend of Daniel, as well as the daughter of the head of Daniel’s chambers. There is a budding love story between Miriam and Daniel. She has done autopsies on the victims.

Readers know that Perry will see that the case is solved. Along the way, she will offer some very insightful passages about the human condition.

Readers who already know Daniel, Miriam and the Pitts will be delighted to welcome them back. Those who enjoy historical mysteries can begin the series here and then work their way backward. Both groups will enjoy this latest novel by a favorite author of mine.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher. All opinions are my own.

This title will be published on 12 Apr 2022.
