" I liked the time frame of this book, and was intrigued by Bess' service during the war. I thought Bess was an interesting enough detective, the mystery readable and the characters engaging. But somewhere past the middle of the book, the story began to drag a bit, I got impatient for some kind of resolution, and my interest began waning. Finding out what the heck is going on just seems to take a long time. But it wasn't a bad book; I enjoyed the first half and finished the book still liking Bess and many of the characters. "
