A Duty to the Dead Review

If you remember I wrote about this book a few months back because I had come across another book in this series and it sounded interesting, and though I am TRYING to steer clear of series this one is different. It has a Sherlock feel when it comes to mysteries (I said feel, not completely as compelling but close). Its not the same plot line throughout all the books like a lot of series tend to be. This is the same characters just different mysteries to solve. I believe I can handle that.

I love that this story is placed during WWI, that era is one I enjoy reading about (Maybe that steamed from reading the Chronicles of Narnia...) I enjoy the manners that existed back then, I wish that would happen again in our world honestly...

The main character is Bess (Elizabeth) Crawford, and she is a nurse in her Majesties Army on a hospital ship, she meets Arthur Graham who entrusts her with a message to deliver to his brother Jonathan in the event of his inevitable demise. Bess honors this request and travels to Arthur's hometown and delivers the news to his brother, Jonathan seems not to take this message too seriously and this concerns Bess. This leads her to start digging into the Grahams past, and finding out a secret no one meant for her, or anyone else for that matter, to know. She then has to decide what is important to her and how to bring justice when there seems no possible way.

I strongly recommend that you pick up this book, it is a nice refresher to every day life and a quick and interesting read. A good weekend book (which is how long it took me to finish this one) So head over to your local Library or log on to their website and check it out. And don't forget to let me know what you thought.

Happy Reading!
