Death in Focus (Elena Standish Book 1)

Praise for Anne Perry's previous novels:

'Anne Perry's Victorian mysteries are marvels of plot construction... What makes the plot truly remarkable, however, is the way Perry uses it to dramatize not the petty street crimes committed by the poor but the lucrative trade of merchants who deal in drugs and human flesh' New York Times

'The investigation concludes in a hold-your-breath trial... A brilliant Victorian police procedural in which well-realized characters and settings are fascinating in themselves' Booklist

'Engrossing... Perry has always excelled in courtroom scenes and arguments between barristers, and she outdoes herself in two dramatic trials ... The book gallops to a dramatic conclusion' Washington Times Daily

'A truly unusual mystery... Perry balances plot and character neatly before providing a resolution that few will anticipate' Publishers Weekly

'There is a freshness about [Perry's] writing which makes it truly exceptional and I was gripped until the final page. Death on Blackheath was one of the best books I've read this year and I cannot recommend it highly enough' Eurocrime
'Redolent with Victorian atmosphere, from the hypocritical snobbishness to the rigid social conventions of the time' Tangled Web
'Elegantly constructed and nail-bitingly tense' Good Book Guide

'Give her a good murder and a shameful social evil, and Anne Perry can write a Victorian mystery that would make Dickens' eyes pop out' New York Times Book Review
