Death Times Seven: A Daniel Pitt Novel

Death Times Seven: A Daniel Pitt Novel by Anne Perry
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Amazing I am so sorry this is the last book about the wonderful Pitts. I have been there from the beginning when Charlotte and Thomas first meet and read with pleasure about their family through the years. In Anne Perry's last book Daniel is thrown into a murder trial when Toby's Mother is killed and his Father is severely injured. The police assume it's a murder suicide and barely investigate until Daniel with Toby's permission and help start poking around. One of the biggest discoveries they find with Miriam's help is that two separate guns were used. Daniel returns to London to represent Toby's client who has been accused of the murder of a young woman. With Miriam and Eve's help he discovers that a patch of pubic skin was removed and that it was omitted from both the police report and the pathologist findings. Miriam and Eve also discover that other young women have been murdered in the same manner and with the same souvenir taken. Revealing that a serial killer is on the lose Daniel looks set to win his case until the souvenirs turn up in his client's room. A room that was previously searched with nothing found and his client has been incarcerated in the time between. Someone is trying to frame the unfortunate young man. But who? Bizarrely Daniel and his helpers discover that the murder of Toby's Mother and attempted murder of his Father is connected to the trial. And that the police were threatened with injury to their loved ones to cove up the souvenirs and any evidence that would reveal the true killer.

I feel that Daniel was just hitting his stride as a lawyer and that there were many more exciting stories waiting to be written if Anne Perry hadn't passed away.

The Widow by John Grisham
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It sort of drug in the beginning but the ending was fast paced and exciting.

The widow pretended to have a fortune, two greedy lawyers tried to take advantage, two stepsons tried to gain control of the fortune and one lawyer wound up convicted of murder, but who really poisoned the widow? And what did they have to gain?

Pendergast: The Beginning by Douglas Preston
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Really enjoyed this book. Learning how Proctor came to work for him and their past together. Would love to learn more about their missions in the Ghost Company. Dare I hope there is a new series in the making about Colonel Pendergast?
