Query: Disappointing

I love the Pitt and Monk series by Anne Perry but both have moved away from the drawing room style of story and into a more political realm. This one wasnt even interesting; I didnt care at all about the presumed target, Charlotte was a peripheral character, Radley a jerk and Emily a snot. The 'whodunnit' aspect was totally missing and the whole thing rather flat. The books have begun to veer away from what makes them so good--strong believable characters, an intimate, absorbing plot and more domestic types of crime.
