Resumen del Editor

From the "grand duchess" of British mysteries, the 22nd installment of the New York Times best-selling William Monk series.

Commander William Monk has learned to live with the fact that he cannot remember the events of his life prior to a horrific carriage accident years ago. But when a ghost from his past, a man he has no recollection of, attempts to frame him for a series of murders, he must rely on the help of his wife, Hester, and his close friend, Oliver Rathbone, in order to free himself - from both the charges and the demons that have haunted him since the accident.

A great series continues.

A good, but not great story. I had to do some backtracking because I got distracted and had to listen to the plot I had missed and that never really happens with these books. Overall, the series has been fantastic and I will carry on with the series.

Excellent Book

The story is rich in characterization and for followers of the Monk series, it is satisfying to see the maturation of the main characters as they move to happier, stable places in their lives.

Excellent

Back to good old police work with the villain trying to outwit Monk

But with the band of friends and Oliver they did not stand a chance.

Great entry in the series.

At first I thought having Monk possibly spending time in San Francisco at the time of the gold rush in 1849 was preposterous, but I ended up loving it. Finding out more about Monk's lost years is everything I didn't know I needed. The whole story was very good and quite entertaining. David Colacci is a wonderful narrator.

A thriller

This addition to the series is a total thriller from the investigation through the courtroom scenes and the final rowdy ending. Once again Monk's forgotten past rises up to menace him from two different points. There were tons of moments that I found myself holding my breath, wondering how it was going to end. I adore Oliver's new love interest and hope Perry keeps her around. She and Hester could be good friends. The narrator is most excellent.

Good But Not the Best Monk

I enjoy Perry's Monk books and I enjoyed this one. However, it lacked the enthralling drama of most of the others. Still worth the listening...

Annoying narration of great story.

I'm afraid this narrator should not be doing anything with an English accent. I have heard his other work and enjoyed it very much, but his English accent is inaccurate and annoying, and that, coupled with a sort of pompous speech rhythm that I think he thinks is English, nearly ruined my enjoyment of this book. It really took a lot of concentration to ignore it. That said, this is another great story of William Monk and his colleagues and friends, with another great courtroom drama at its climax. The early books in the series are perhaps more psychologically satisfying, but I still Love knowing about the further adventures of these characters.

Anne Perry Strikes Again!

I have never met an Anne Perry book I didn't like. Revenge in a Cold River was a book I couldn't put down. I m so glad it is on Audiobooks so I can cook, or clean or drive, etc. while listening. Thank you for the Audio choice in books!

Love This Series

I have listened to all of the books in the William Monk series and I want more. The characters are well-developed as are the story lines. Post-WWI era

Scruff grows up

Another stellar book from Ms Perry. I love how her characters develop over time. And this book is no exception. Enjoy!!
