I like the Anne Perry Mysteries too, set in Victorian England. It’s something so different from now
I didn’t recognize the name so had to look her up.
Anne Perry (born Juliet Marion Hulme; 28 October 1938) is an English author of historical detective fiction, best known for her Thomas Pitt and William Monk series. In 1954, at the age of fifteen, she was convicted in the murder of her friend’s mother, Honora Rieper. She changed her name after serving a five-year sentence for Rieper’s murder.
Whoa. I’ve heard about writing about what you know, but I don’t think that’s quite what was meant! Looks like she’s been able to turn her life around; good for her.
