A review by melissadeemcdaniel
A Cruel Deception by Charles Todd

5.0

A new Bess Crawford mystery is a delight. In "Cruel Deception,” Bess is struggling with her changing role as the war is ending and nursing sisters are returning to civilian life. Her renowned investigative skills are called into action by her superior Matron, who sends Bess on an unorthodox mission to find a soldier missing from the peace talks taking place in Paris. What looks at first like a simple case of AWOL turns into something more complex.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
