Casualty of War: A Bess Crawford Mystery | 
pickI'm all caught up now with the Bess Crawford mysteries. This one is a strong addition, despite the lack of wartime nursing description. In fact, the war is over for most of the book, and Bess is on leave in England. Of course she feels it her duty to resolve a mystery for a former patient, and prove that he is not mad. There are also some tantalizing glimpses of what may be in store for Bess now that the Great War is over.
pickI'm now caught up with Bess Crawford. The series revolves around the fact that Bess is a nurse during WWI, many of her "cases" she takes on are of mysteries surrounding soldiers and their families. Now with WWI drawing to a close, I'm left wondering how it all will go next. Will she continue nursing? What about Simon? Will we still get to hear the Kookabura call from my favorite Aussie? It's definitely a precipice time for the series to be sure.
How have I not made time for the latest title in one of my favorite mystery series? I'm excited to finally start this one.
pickI‘m a big fan of Bess Crawford and am a bit concerned about her in a post-war world. This was a delight as usual and definitely made me realize how much I was shipping a particular pairing.
