It's an interesting premise, and as the series has progressed he's become one of Anne Perry's most fully developed characters ever. Yet there's something intriguing about a character who gets a chance to stand outside his life and see himself as others do, particularly if he learns enough to try to change their perceptions as he himself changes. It's true that he's unpleasant, and it's really difficult to like him. He doesn't much like what he finds - an almost universally disliked man. It turns out he's a police detective, whose first duty is now to discover who he was before his accident. In this, his first adventure, he suffers from amnesia and must rely on others to tell him who he is, where he lives, and where he works. Monk is not nearly as attractive a protagonist, at least on the surface. At first I didn't much like William Monk, the hero of Anne Perry's second Victorian mystery series, a surprise since I'd been quite taken with her Thomas and Charlotte Pitt series. Perrys new hero is William Monk, a Victorian London police detective whose memory has vanished because of an accident.
