DESCRIPTION:
. Previewed in Prepub Alert, LJ 12/92.Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Library Journal Perry's established audience will clamor for this newest Inspector Pitt offering. Pitt's investigation into the death of a judge leads him to a notorious, unsolved crucifixion murder
"It is done." And done well. Many of the usual characters and a story with many parallels to the Bible-hanging, crucifixion, crowds yelling, Pharisees in the Temple (of Law), and of course the death of a Godman which is the basis for it all. Was there a commandment that was broken somewhere along the line? Continued character development of most of the main players. Continued dogged policework unraveling all the threads and the usual sudden insights and blunt ending. Another good read.. Sharon Wrisley said CRUCIFIED. Again, a great read. Anne Perry really knows how to keep her reader hooked. The Farrier's Lane deals with the death of a Judge in the Court of Appeals, who had worked on a case five years previous, involving a man who had been killed and nailed to a Farrier's door in the manner of a crucifixion. The suspected murder, an actor and a Jew was hanged, after appealing his case. He had professed his innocence until the day he was hanged, and his sister, also an actress, had championed his innocence for the past five year, making a nuisance of herself with all manne. Marmar said Five Stars. Wow she out did herself with this one, Belgrave Square again, such a surprise ending to both of these
When the distinguished Mr. Amid the public hysteria for revenge, the police had arrested a Jewish actor who was soon condemned to hang.Police Inspector Thomas Pitt, investigating Stafford's death, is drawn into the Farriers' Lane murder as well, for it appears that Stafford may have been about to reopen the case. And slowly both Thomas and Charlotte begin to reach for the same sinister and deeply dangerous truth.. Pitt receives curiously little help from his colleagues on the force, but his wife, Charlotte, gleans from her social engagements startling insights into both cases. Justice Stafford dies of opium poisoning, his shocking demise resurrects one of the most sensational cases ever to inflame England: the murder five years before of Kingsley Blaine, whose body was found crucified in Farriers' Lane
