4.0

A thoroughly enjoyable closed circle mystery that takes place in an English hospital during WW2, with a patient dying on the operating table in suspicious circumstances. It has a really fun cast of characters and a great mystery, what makes it even more interesting is the setting. The book was published in 1944 and the detail of life in wartime Britain is fascinating.
