Ashworth Hall

Written by Anne Perry

Narrated by Jenny Sterlin

When a group of powerful Irish Protestants and Catholics gather at a country house to discuss Irish home rule, contention is to be expected. But when the meeting’s moderator, government bigwig Ainsley Greville, is found murdered in
his bath, negotiations seem doomed. Unless Superintendent Thomas Pitt and his wife, Charlotte, can root out the truth, simmering hatreds and passions may again explode in murder.

I love Anne Perry. I will read everything she writes. I confess it may be my ignorance about the struggles between the Irish Protestants and Catholics during this time period. However, I found it such a struggle to keep the characters straight in this story. Although I understood the premise, it did not keep my interest and the mystery got lost. Since I found it hard to keep the characters straight, I did not become interested in their outcome nor was I sure who actually was the person who committed the crime. Perhaps someone else will have better luck with this one, it wasn't for me. It will not, however, stop me from reading Anne Perry.

Ashworth Hall" almost exactly fits the formula 'closed door' Victorian murder mystery mold (hey, there's even a butler)... In 1890, a group of Irish leaders, their wives and servants are meeting for a conference at a British manor house to address the "Irish Problem." First, the politician hosting the conference is found murdered... but is the motive political or personal? More literary in style than say, Amanda Quick, book, but still a basic whodunnit

Love this Charlotte and Thomas Pitt series. This one was read by David McCallum. Very complicated plot with Pitt being assigned to protect dignitaries at a secret meeting at his society in-law's estate. The bad feelings between the Irish and the English surface and and murdered diplomat is the very man Pitt was sent to protect. Gracie, acting as Charlotte's maid, aids Pitt in his investigation.
