Story
Daniel Pitt is delighted that his sister is visiting London with her American husband, Patrick, a policeman, and their young daughters. But Patrick's trip has another purpose, for which he enlists Daniel's help. Philip Sidney, a young British diplomat, is accused of robbery and assault in Washington, but he has taken diplomatic immunity and fled to England. The perfect opportunity to obtain justice presents itself when Sidney is accused of a small embezzlement at the British embassy in the USA, but as Daniel digs deeper into the case it becomes clear that vengeance is involved.

Daniel's friend Miriam Ford Croft was taught by formidable forensic scientist Sir Barnabas Saltram, who has built his reputation on giving evidence of this kind.

Spring, 1921. Scotland Yard sends Inspector Ian Rutledge to the sea-battered village of Walmer on the coast of Essex, where amongst the salt flats and a military airfield lies Benton Abbey, a grand manor with a storied past. The lady of the house may prove his most bewildering witness yet. She claims she saw a violent murder—but there is no body, no blood. She also insists she recognized the killer: Captain Nelson. Only it could not have been Nelson because he died during the war.

Story
It is 1896, and Thomas Pitt is in charge of Special Branch. He is beginning to understand the power he now commands, but is still ill at ease at the glittering events he and his wife, Charlotte, must attend. During a lavish party at the Spanish Embassy, a policeman breaks into Pitt's conversation with investor Rawdon Quixwood to break the terrible news that Quixwood's wife, Catherine, has been viciously assaulted at their home, and left for dead. Worse still, it appears that the assailant was someone she had trusted, as she opened the door to the attacker herself.
Publisher's Summary
Twenty-One Days is the first in an exciting new generation of Pitt novels, featuring Daniel Pitt, by New York Times best seller and the queen of Victorian crime, Anne Perry.
It is 1910, and the century is full of change. Sir Thomas Pitt, Head of Special Branch, has persuaded his son, Daniel, to take on his first case as a newly qualified barrister. Having successfully defended his client and made a lifelong friend, Daniel is summoned to the Old Bailey to assist in the defence of renowned biographer Russell Graves, who is accused of the brutal murder and disfigurement of his wife. When the jury finds him guilty, Graves is sentenced to be hanged in 21 days.
Graves insists he has been framed, and when Daniel discovers that Graves was writing a shocking exposé of Victor Narraway, Thomas Pitt's former friend and mentor from Special Branch, he fears the worst.... This exposé reveals state secrets so damning that someone might have wanted to silence him. And that 'someone' might be Daniel's father. With the reputations of those closest to him at stake, Daniel is in a race against time to uncover the truth and ensure that a man isn't sent to the gallows for a crime he didn't commit.

Daniel Pitt a worthy successor
Another wonderful story by Ann Perry
New characters that we will get to know and love.
Interesting introduction to forensic medicine.
The narrator is a little difficult to follow. Words are clipped but apart from that, another good audible offering.

Good story, sometimes difficult to understand clearly if you aren't from the UK.
The story is accomplished and typical of Anne Perry's other stories, but getting a bit laboured on her familiar themes once you've read a few of her books. Presumably from her own experiences as a young teenager, she always focusses on the 'grey' areas of guilt, and people's deeper motivations for their actions, and the quick assumptions people make. These are all definitely worthy themes and make her work both intriguing but also a bit repetitive after reading about 30 of them as I have! Nice to move on to Daniel Pitt - the next generation of the Pitt family! When it sometimes got repetitive in the philosophising/moralising (re don't judge others), I was able to quicken the reading speed and skim!
The main problem I found was the odd dialect of the reader. As an Australian, an English teacher and an ESL teacher, I've been exposed to many accents and voices, and yet I found this reader's dialect oddly to difficult to 'catch'. He seemed to go very quickly over some words, and more slowly on others. It was a difficult rhythm to follow, and it seemed he was reading too fast in half of every sentence! I got used to it, after even trying to go to "slow speed", but it was never an easy listening experience. Perhaps that was just me. For once, I hadn't listened to a preview and I definitely should have. Still, I may be getting old! Worth your time overall.

A good read
This is an enjoyable book that held my interest throughout. My only reservation about the performance is that the reading is a little too fast, which affects the pronunciation in places. I think a more measured pace would have provided a more relaxed and satisfying listening experience. On the whole though; a good buy.

Good story, shame about the narrator
I have long been an admirer of Ms Perry’s books and, until now, have enjoyed both reading and listening to them. However, although this was a good story it was spoilt for me by the speed in which the narrator read it. Sometimes so quickly that words stumbled over each other. Indeed, I had to continually rewind the story to catch what had been said. I will not purchase another book read by this narrator.

This is my first book by Anne Perry- Bravo
This is my first book by Anne Perry and I’m very impressed. The book was a rollercoaster plot that never dipped or waned and the characters were beautifully bought to life by Simon Scardifield and his amazing narration.
What a winning team!! Am immediately off to download the next one ;-)
Bravo 👏

Very Enjoyable
I was doubtful about this book because the dreadful narration ruins so many of the Thomas Pitt books. Thankfully this book was well read with an interesting plot and well drawn characters. I'm looking forward to the next book.
