Twenty-One Days by Anne Perry

3.0


In TWENTY-ONE DAYS Anne Perry opens a new series and passes the torch to the next generation with Daniel Pitt. Daniel, son of Thomas and Charlotte, is working as a lawyer/ sleuth to appeal a murder conviction in 21 days. New and interesting characters in this book include Marcus fford Croft, head of the distinguished law firm along with Toby Kitteridge, a senior attorney vested in protecting the letter of the law. Marcus's daughter, Miriam, who passed her medical courses at Cambridge with honors but is not granted her degree because of her gender, also joins the cast. If you are a long-time fan of Anne Perry's earlier series featuring the senior Pitts, fear not because they also make appearances.

I most enjoyed the facts of the law that were discussed, the social constricts, and the scientific evidence being deployed to defend those on trial. There are plenty of twists and turns to keep this one interesting.
