About This Audiobook

Resurrection Row, the fourth Charlotte and Thomas Pitt novel, begins with a corpse that has been buried twice — a peer of the realm found upright in a hansom cab, previously certified dead by natural causes. Inspector Pitt's insistence on reopening the case puts him at odds with a Victorian social order that prefers its embarrassments buried, and as more bodies resurface the investigation becomes a dark comedy of manners around decomposition, secrets, and the lengths the powerful will go to preserve appearances.

Davina Porter is the great voice of the Pitt series — her command of Victorian register, from upstairs to down, gives the audio an authoritative period texture. Perry's 1981 novel is early in the series and accordingly compact, and Porter's narration keeps it moving with the momentum of a tight procedural. At eight hours it is one of the shorter entries, which suits the slightly absurdist premise.
