Resumen del Editor

The daughter of a distinguished soldier, Bess Crawford follows in his patriotic footsteps, volunteering to serve her country as a nurse during the Great War. In 1916 she promises Lieutenant Arthur Graham that she will carry his dying request to a brother.

When Bess arrives at the Graham house in Kent, Jonathan Graham listens to his brother's last wishes with surprising indifference. Neither his mother nor his brother Timothy seems to think it has any significance. Unsettled by this, Bess is about to take her leave when sudden tragedy envelops her.

She quickly discovers that fulfilling this duty to the dead has thrust her into a maelstrom of intrigue and murder that will endanger her own life and test her courage as not even war has.

Great story

I wasn't sure about this book after reading some of the reviews but I am out of Agatha Raisin and Daisy Dalrymple books so I gave it a try. I'm so glad I did. I really enjoyed it. It was fast-paced and interesting and not too gory or dark. Just what I needed.

Convoluted

it started off well and i thoight it was going to be a very good mystery with an appealing heroine. Toward the end it got confusing and convoluted, with the solution depending on confessions by people who lied instead of determining the solution through evidence.

Wow

I was anxious to see how this new series would be. If book one is any indication I cannot wait to here more! I could not wait to see what happened but also did not want it to win.

Narration was perfect and cannot wait for more to come

engaging plot and writing

...and skilled narration, voice acting, and character individuation. I am looking forward to subsequent books in the series.

Fantastic!!!

Almost as good as Ian Rutledge. Had listened to it a number of years ago but still just as riveting.

pedantic

The narrator's voice was the same for each male character and for each older woman character. There were times when it was difficult to tell when the main character was thinking and when she was speaking.

Overall, the first half of the novel was irritatingly slow and repetitive, while the second have made leaps in logic--or illogic- and actions that I would not an educated, well-bred young woman to do.

I finished the book because it wasn't horrible and because it was a free download which I played on my long commute.

A ripping yarn!

I am stingy with my stars so you know this was some good storytelling. Great heroine, lively supporting characters, good intrigue, and no romance mucking it all up! Wonderful narrator too.
