Thomas Pitt leaves the world of international intrigue to delve into more personal crimes: Rape and Murder. I welcomed that return. Unfortunately, Charlotte did not pay a major role in solving the mysteries, but he is ably assisted by Vespasia and Narraway. We get much more of Charlotte and Thomas together in the home along with the children, which was also very much welcomed, after several books in which they barely crossed paths. One mystery was not solved, for me. What the heck is “Marble Arch?” And what happened there at Midnight? I obviously missed something kinda important. **4 out of 5 stars**
