When a group of powerful Irish Protestants and Catholics gather at a country house to discuss Irish home rule, contention is to be expected. But when the meeting's moderator, government bigwig Ainsley Greville, is found murdered in his bath, negotiations seem doomed. To make matters worse, it appears the late Greville may have led a less than savory personal life.Unless Thomas Pitt and his wife, Charlotte, can root out the truth, simmering hatreds and passions may again explode in murder, the home rule movement may collapse, and civil war may destroy all of Ireland. . . .

"The Troubles perfectly suit Perry's gift for rooting large-scale social conflict in the minutiae of domestic intrigue. Fans of the series will be delighted."

Kirkus, 01/01/1997

"Perry's neat solution is both ingenious and fitting, her portraits of Victorian life detailed and well-researched, and her characters drawn with depth and compassion."

Alix Madrigal, San Francisco Chronicle Book Review, 04/13/1997
