WE LOVE A MYSTERY

THE AMAZING SAGA OF ANNE PERRY

                                                                                            

Master of Mystery

Social Commentator of Penetrating Intelligence
Teacher of Distinction

Anne Perry, one of this earth's foremost mystery creators, also stands tall as an important historian of the Victorian Era.  We "regular" historians have acknowledged our reliance on key historical novelists for new and now accepted insights into major periods of human history:  Jean Auel (Clan of the Cave Bear), Coleen McCullough (her novels of ancient Rome) , Margaret George (Mary, Queen of Scots and Cleopatra) - and Anne Perry to note a few.  

As important, in ripping away the pretty masks that conceal society's darkest transgressions, Ms. Perry reminds us that the sins of the past remain with us today - but she does so in such a manner that gives us time to reflect and connect and realize.  Whether it be poverty, squalor, hatred  - or prejudice, racism, sexism, - or dominance, maniupulation, blackmail, - or adultery, and pedophilia, - or abuse, rape, prostitution, - or snobbery, human disdain, these great moral issues become the reader's own.

And, of course, the tales and the characters and the plots themselves.  Brilliantly drawn, intriguing, dramatic, entertaining.
