As I picked this book off my pile of books, I didn't remember having read the first one in the series. So I thought, once I found I did, that maybe I didn't like the first one. And once I started reading it, I didn't like the way it was written. So that's it for the series.
I was wrong. Once I got past a few chapters it became a page turner for me. And it is interesting that, although the book is over 400 pages, the text is far simpler than most of the wordy books written in or about that period.
While the tale takes place in 1920s England, it really all started with the Boer War of the late 19th century. Between the events of the 1920s, the author slowly inserts flashbacks to that South African war.
