I felt immersed in the time, and I feel I learned a good deal about it, too. What I'm most impressed with, though, is the portrayal of what it was like for those who came back from the war as well as for their loved ones. To see Verity struggle with whether it was better to press her husband to talk about his experiences or to leave him alone with his memories was so poignant. It will not be long before I pick up the next installment. (  ) ang709 | Mar 30, 2023 | Characters' lives aside, Anna Lee Huber writes a good mystery. The plots are generally intricate and mostly avoid the trite or well-worn paths of the genre. This one was no different, except that it's setting up a multi book arc with a nemesis, and I'm pretty wishy-washy about nemeses. I also got a little bit tired of the constant references to Verity's spy career during the war. I suspect this is a Kensington editorial thing as it's the type of over-reference I find a lot in their books, making me wonder if they underestimate their readers' abilities to reading comprehension. Generally an enjoyable read, but once again, I find myself thinking I might not buy the next one, though of course, I probably will anyway. ( ) murderbydeath | Jan 26, 2022 | This is the third in the series, though it can be read as a standalone, the story can be better understood after reading the first two. For me this is so far the best of the series. An interesting well-written mystery with the introduction of an intriguing character (being portrayed as a a villain) opposed to Verity. A NetGalley Book ( ) Vesper1931 | Jul 29, 2021 | While investigating, Verity is also aske to investigate another murder, that of a woman who also worked in government services during WW I; the police assume it was a burglary gone wrong, but the only thing missing are the woman's letters from her aunts in France.... Which of course leads Verity & Sydney to another murder and the suspicious war-time grounding of a supply boat, entire crew gone missing, owned by the dead man. All this was very convoluted and rather boring as there wasn't much of a conclusion and the fate of the perpetrator was left hanging... (  ) Auntie-Nanuuq | Feb 15, 2021 |
 Huber offers a well-researched historical and a fascinating look at the lingering aftermath of war. Pertenece a las seriesVerity Kent (3)

England, 1919. In Anna Lee Huber's latest mystery, former Secret Service agent Verity Kent is finding that life after wartime offers its own share of danger . . . The Great War may be over, but for many, there are still obstacles on the home front. Reconciling with her estranged husband makes Verity sympathetic to her friend Ada's marital difficulties. Bourgeois-bred Ada, recently married to the Marquess of Rockham, is overwhelmed trying to navigate the ways of the aristocracy. And when Lord Rockham is discovered shot through the heart with a bullet from Ada's revolver, Verity fears her friend has made a fatal blunder. While striving to prove Ada's innocence, Verity is called upon for another favor. The sister of a former Secret Service colleague has been killed in what authorities believe was a home invasion gone wrong. The victim's war work-censoring letters sent by soldiers from the front-exposed her to sensitive, disturbing material. Verity begins to suspect these two unlikely cases may be linked. But as the connections deepen, the consequences-not just for Verity, but for Britain-grow more menacing than she could have imagined. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
