Soon facing a series of deadly obstructions, Monk must choose between his own safety and the chance to solve the mysteryâand to figure out where his menâs loyalty really lies.
Praise for Dark Tide Rising
âPerry makes cunning work of the plot, which raises issues of trust and loyalty while driving home a grim message about the vulnerability of women who entrust their fortunes to unscrupulous men.ââThe New York Times Book Review
âOne of the most successful of prolific Perryâs recent Victorian melodramas. The opening chapters are appropriately portentous, the mystification is authentic, and if the final surprise isnât exactly a shock, itâs so well-prepared that even readers who donât gasp will nod in satisfaction.ââKirkus Reviews
âAnother deftly crafted gem of a suspense thriller by a master of the mystery genre . . . a âmust read.â ââMidwest Book Review
âSuperb . . . [a] brilliant piece of historical fiction . . . No one writes Victorian-era stories quite like Perry.ââBookReporter
