Sad as it was, he solved it. The next case involves the death of Prudence Barrymore, a gentle woman, former nurse in the Crimea who is working in the hospital in London. Her death is tragic and hard to solve - at least correctly. Monk, Hester and Oliver Rathbone team up to race to find answers. (Hester knew Prudence in the Crimea, and goes undercover at the hospital to investigate.) Another well-written novel in the William Monk collection, Anne Perry really brings Victorian England to life. It is a real wake-up call being reminded that the idea of a woman training to be a doctor was such a laughable idea. How grateful I am to live in an era when a woman is appreciated for her intellectual abilities every bit as much (if not more) than her physical appearance. I don't want to give any spoilers but I was grateful that a barrister used his integrity over ambition. I'm looking forward to the next novel in the collection. En el hospital londinense Royal Free cada dÃa se combate con la muerte; no con el asesinato. Asà que el hallazgo del cadáver de Prudence Barrymore, una amable enfermera de buena familia, crea confusión y asombro. Pese a que la policÃa señala que Kristian Beck, un médico extranjero, es el culpable, la dirección del hospital encarga la investigación del caso a William Monk. Éste, junto a la enfermera y amiga de la vÃctima Hester Latterly y el brillante abogado defensor Oliver Rathbone, desvelará los secretos intereses que en ocasiones empañan la imparcialidad de la justicia. sem crÃticas | adicionar uma crÃtica

Greatly helped by his unconventional friend Hester Latterly, another of Miss Nightingaleâ??s nurses, and barrister Oliver Rathbone, Monk assembles a portrait of the remarkable woman. Yet he also discerns the shadow of a tragic evil that darkens every level of society, and a frightening glimmer of his own eclip Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

This installment of the William Monk series is more courtroom drama than murder mystery. The book exposes the Victorian attitudes toward women's reproductive rights, a topic which is also timely todzy. ( )
