Delightful mystery and adventure story set in WWI France and England.  Bess Crawford is a capable, strong protagonist, who has lived a life of privilege, but still seeks to do good in her community.  She is a military nurse of some skills and ends up being an amateur sleuth to boot.  This story starts with her seeing a corpse among the flu dead that has no sign of flu symptoms.  Then she gets sick and by the time she recovers, every else who saw the body is dead.  Something nefarious is going on, but she can't be certain that it's not just a fever dream. Intricately plotted and with carefully developed characters, this was a pleasure to read.
