It started slow, but then became a page turner for me. However, to be honest, I didn't quite understand the villain's motive. It seemed fabricated, as if he wasn't of sound mind.
Didn't like it as well as the other Bess Crawford books.

Another interesting romp with nurse Bess and she alternates between administering to WWI casualties in France and investigates the reasons behind a nefarious plot to discredit and convict the father of a patient she had helped survive his wounds. It's too bad they didn't award mileage for trips back and forth across the Channel -- she'd have been able to buy her own boat by the end of this story. The ending is a bit abrupt, and I think for such a sensible character she does act foolishly now and then. Maybe it's effects of mal-de-mer (although she mentions not being affected by it.)
