“While still enjoyable, I found this to be one of the less gripping mysteries by Ms. Perry. I've enjoyed all her Thomas and Charlotte Pitt mysteries to date, the first being some of the best. It might have been because this book did not include the wife Charlotte as a major player, but more in the background. As usual, the story evokes the atmosphere of Victoran England and the underbelly of corruption that existed then. ”

Wonderful description of Victorian England lifestyles and culture.”
“I love the Thomas and Charlotte Pitt novels. This was a re-read. She always surprises me at the end and I have read them all. I highly reccommend this series-- Victorian detective mysteries solved in the time before DNA or even fingerprints. They have to be solved by deduction! And pay attention, the plots are very clever, and it goes without saying that the history is pitch perfect. Note: the author has a very interesting history herself.”

“I really like this installment in Perry's Pitt series. As always, Perry has written an atmospheic and tension-filled book. She is very good at creating her Victorian world and it is easy for the reader to slip into it. Sadly, in the last few books of the series, I've noticed that, as the political machinations have increased, Charlotte has not been as involved as much as usual. Hopefully, her strong presence will return in the next book due in 2008.

I think what I like most about Long Spoon Lane is the further development in the relationship between Pitt and Tellman. They despised each other when Tellman was first introduced and slowly became first uneasy allies, then friends. Pitt relies heavily on Tellman in most of the later books...Tellman has become very loyal to Pitt and will do pretty much anything he asks, which becomes very dangeorus in Long Spoon Lane. In most of the books, we don't get a lot of Pitt's thoughts on Tellman, but in Long Spoon Lane, Pitt realizes how devestating it would be if something happened to his friend and something about that realization touches me. It's nicely done...and about time...I've always preferred Tellman to Pitt...but I like the dark, brooding sort...he's got a slight hint of Mr. Rochester to him...:) ”
