Well-paced, with a page-turning plot and likeable main character.

People are terrible.
War ruins things.
There's so much to think about written within these pages, but it all boils down to these two themes.

The mystery was easy to solve, but I quite enjoyed the character Bess and the WW I setting.

I'm not sure how I felt about this book. I feel like I should have liked it more. It certainly drew me into the story quickly and immersed me completely in the period. But for some reason I never really connected with the main character. Bess came across as a little too perfect for me to relate to. Although the mystery was intriguing I thought it became too complicated and I got tired of Bess traveling from place to place. She interviewed the same people multiple times and learned nothing of value at all, which felt like a waste of time within the story. I don't think I'll be continuing the series.

What's not to like about a British mystery series set during WWI and helmed by an intelligent, down-to-earth female protagonist?
