About this ebook
An English country house becomes a WWI hospital—and one of its patients falls victim to a mysterious enemy—in this “winning historical mystery” (Booklist).
In 1916 and the world is at war. Lady Montfort has persuaded her husband to offer his family’s dower house to the War Office as an auxiliary hospital for officers recovering from shell-shock. Along with the estate, their redoubtable housekeeper Mrs. Jackson will join the war effort as the hospital’s quartermaster.
Despite the hospital’s success, the farming community of Haversham does not approve of a country-house hospital for men they consider cowards. When one of the patients, Captain Sir Evelyn Bray, is found lying face down in the vegetable garden with his head bashed in, Lady Montfort and Mrs. Jackson fear that the hospital will be closed. Once again the two women unite to discover who would have reason to murder a war hero suffering from amnesia.
“The surprising solution will reward careful readers. The way Arlen integrates the traumas of WWI into a golden age whodunit plot will please Charles Todd fans.” —Publishers Weekly
