Publisher's description -
"Readers of Anne Perry’s bestselling William Monk novels feel as if they’ve experienced the many shades of Victorian London, from Belgravia to Limehouse, from drawing room to brothel. In Execution Dock, Perry’s first Monk novel in three years, we find ourselves on the bustling docks along the River Thames. Here the empire’s great merchant ships unload the treasures of the world. And here, in dank and sinister alleys, sex merchants ply their lucrative trade."
I like the Monk novels, (perhaps especially because of Hester), but Monk is an intriguing character in himself. Great start to this novel, lots of action and much social history. And the ending is certainly fitting - although I thought surely too contrived.

as on the cover, a real page turner. Anne Perry is a really good and scary writer.
