" This readable mystery hooked me with its sympathetic hero, Laurence Bartram, who survived the Great War but lost his young wife and son on the home front. The details of the 1920s convalescent home regimen, the survivor guilt of the men who returned from the front, and the secrets kept from them by the women they left behind, are compelling, but solution to the mystery undoes all the good work of the plausibility of what has gone before.
