An Impartial Witness - Kepler's Staff Review

An engaging series set in England and France during the Great War, each Bess Crawford mystery offers a glimpse of the ravages of the First World War as seen through the eyes of Bess Crawford, battlefield nurse. 

It is the summer of 1917 and Bess is sent from the front lines back to England with a convoy of injured soldiers. One of her patients, a severely burned pilot, clings to a photograph of his wife. The patients are transferred to the clinic, and Bess catches a glimpse of a familiar face at a train station – the wife of the burned pilot. A few weeks later, in France, she encounters a newspaper with a picture of the same woman, whose murder is being investigated by Scotland Yard. Bess is granted leave to journey to Scotland Yard and report what she knows, but she quickly starts her own investigation, determined to discover the truth of a tangled life and brutal murder.

Another thrilling literary mystery from one of the great writing teams of the genre. --Ann
