Welcome to Litsy!

I can‘t believe I just learned of Anne Perry‘s passing today. I know the teenage murder conviction and subsequent movie cast a shadow over her career, but I loved her early Thomas & Charlotte Pitt books and the William Monk series. The conspiracy plot lines in both got old around the 20-30th books , but I think I may need to reread the first few again now.

My first Ann Perry book and liking in so far, I am waiting for the resolution of the crimes to see if I add all her books to my Tbr...

4✨This is not normally the time period or style of writing I gravitate towards, but I have to say I really enjoyed this one! While the characters were very concerned with their own well being then others the man characters grew on me that I want to continue the series. I had my suspicions of two people and neither of them was the killer. When the killer was revealed I had to stop and process for a while. Read for #Lmpbc #GroupM @suvata

I forgot to take a photo before I packaged this up! I started and finished this book today for #lmpbc13 #groupm
It's headed to you this week, @Roary47

This one was good… I do like Anne Perry as a writer and she gets a good feel of the the time period. Not too many twists and turns but I thought the ending was good. Will get this in the mail by next week before Thanksgiving!

I have found a new author to love..

#Top20Series #20Series20Days #Day17

There‘s no way I can leave Charlotte and Thomas Pitt off this list. I have not read all of these, and I‘ve jumped around a bit. The first book from this series that I read was one of the later ones, as I didn‘t realize it was from a series. I corrected that by going back to the beginning. Complex mysteries, dense plots, enjoyable, but not light reading. And yes, I know there‘s a Monk book in the picture.

#20series20days Day 14. I couldn‘t pick one out of the 3 Anne Perry series I read. To me they are pretty equal in terms of character development, atmosphere and mystery.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! This was a buddy read with my mom and I so enjoyed it. Looking forward to continuing the series!!
Also: Grandmama and the Vicar can go jump in a bog. They suck. Full review coming soon on YouTube channel: Joyous Jabbers.

Another reread for me! I loved this much more than my previous read a few months ago; I‘m so glad I reread and plan to continue with the series.

I initially didn‘t care for the men controlling the women but this time I read thru the lens of the time and place (England 1881) and enjoyed it so much. This first book is where Charlotte and Thomas Pitt get together-not a spoiler b/c the series is named after them. The killer+motive was shocking to me!

This was a super slow start for me although I‘m glad I made myself hang in there because I was enjoying it quite a bit by the end. I like the cop Thomas Pitt very much! I dislike Charlotte‘s family so much-hopefully they‘ll grow on me if I continue the series. I understand the author was representing social and gender norms of the 1880‘s but OH MY GOSH the women-as-weak attitude of the men drove me crazy.

Audio narrated by Davina Porter is 💯.

I bought a giant box of used books a couple of months ago and this entire series (minus one, I think) was in there. Score!? So I‘m giving this one a try. #fridayreads

I‘m working in my kitchen this morning so I grabbed the audiobook because Davina Porter narrates. I loooove listening to her read.

One of the things I really love about Goodreads is that they send me emails when something on my TBR list is on sale. My Kindle is full of books to read! 😊 #BookSale #Kindle

Excellent historical mystery! Can't wait to read the next in the series! Will I read all 30? Not sure, but I definitely want more!
Have you read any of Anne Perry's books?

In this series of mysteries, Detective Thomas Pitt has to solve murders usually involving the upper class. His wife, Charlotte assists him with these investigations by gaining access to the upper echelons of society through her connections. One of the connections is Vespasia Cumming-Gould, the formidable, witty, intelligent, elderly aunt of her sister's first husband. #seniorcitizens #anditsaugust

The Charlotte & Pitt series came up at dinner last night and in the middle of conversation I checked it out on #Libbyapp

This was a cozy Victorian mystery. 🤗 I didn't care for the romance storyline, I rarely do, but I also recognize I'm a cold fish in that respect.

I love murder mysteries and this is the series that started my love. I freely admit that I judged these books by the cover, as I saw one on display that caught my eye. Then I discovered it was part of a series and I had to read them. #death #junebookbugs

More kickaass female writer fun. Going Victorian this time with Anne Perry and her Charlotte and Thomas Pitt series. Good mystery, little bit of romance, and I love when a Victorian woman takes things into her own hands and solves the mystery.

Can you tell I like Anne Perry? This counts for two because I started reading this series based on the cover of one book. #marchintoreading #happyreads #judgedbythecover

#mysteriouslove I love Anne Perry's Charlotte and Thomas Pitt mysteries. The stories are excellent, but I also love the dynamic between the couple. I generally borrow these from the library, but I have a few on my Kindle. #17booklove

I loved this book and it has sparked a long love of Thomas and Charlotte Pitt. It's part mystery, part Downton Abbey. Definitely worth trying although only die hard fans will want to continue the whole series. It's like 30 books long so think twice if you're someone who has to finish any series you start.
