Not my favorite of the Bess Crawford mysteries. It just felt like Bess was unable to say no and she just kept doing more and more things for ungrateful people that were going to use her resources and leave her dry. Brandon went from being uncle-y to...something else, and I have no idea of his age or, honestly, seeing him as anything than a deus ex machina when Bess needs muscle.

I bought this book about five years ago after reading and enjoying the first two books in the series. Not sure why it took me so long to read it - probably because I tend to forget about ebooks once I've purchased them. Anyway, I enjoyed returning to WWI and the adventures of Bess, a British nurse serving in the war. On leave, she finds a young woman huddled outside of her flat on a really cold evening and takes her in. While I didn't really buy into Bess's concern and the lengths that she went to assist the young woman, I couldn't help but enjoy the story.

Maybe it was me,but I found the plot on this one highly improbable. Why would Bess Crawford get herself mixed up with these folks?

I feel bad rating this so low because I feel that I did myself a disservice by starting this series with the third installment. In my defense though, I didn't even know this was the third in a series. The author did do a bit of an overview but not enough for it to make complete sense to me and left me feeling I was missing something. I'll avoid criticizing this further since I'm sure my distaste was mostly due to my lack of knowledge from the previous installments.
