the corpses of callander square
Inspector Thomas Pitt’s second installment had unusual strength for a sequel, with the bad reputation that precedes second attempts. but as I say, this brilliant exception evokes the best poetry, with its sinister and gothic edge.
because death, once penetrated between the social strata where life runs more comfortably, always awakens that point of maddening uncertainty. To the point that many of the residents of the noble area, where lurid processes against babies of a few hours are discovered, do not want Thomas Pitt to investigate the matter. morality prevailed over truth.
Thomas faces the murderer tasked with killing newborns, but also a world of appearances that prefers to silence the black voices of its conscience rather than face the harshness of its noble doors. pitt will give the witness to charlotte so that she, going more unnoticed, tries to discover what those dark souls of posh and rancid lineage are hiding.
