An excellent book and story. A bit too gritty sometimes for my taste. But as I normally prefer cozy mysteries no surprise there. But nevertheless I enjoyed it a lot. Although there was a moment when I was actually close to tears. It has been a long time since a book touched me on such a profound level. War is ugly and we should never forget it. Peter Wickham's narration is great as always.I will definitely read the next one.
