: Keen to support the war effort, bookshop manager and sometime amateur sleuth has taken a volunteer role in the library of the nearby military hospital. But arriving at the hospital one cold winter's morning, she is horrified to find the body of a dead soldier in the library. What's more, a beautiful young nurse confides in Hannah that she thinks she's being followed, and then she abruptly disappears. Hannah can't shake the suspicion that the two cases are connected, but she can't solve the case alone. She'll once again need to call upon her delightful, demanding, only-occasionally devious aunt, Violet. ' I had high hopes for this novel and it did not disappoint.

Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'A that entertained me from the start... ... I loved the inclusion of Bartleby, the bookshop cat who was very much a character in his own right.' Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ . Hannah and Aunt Violet are wonderful characters and I liked them from the start. The surrounding characters are well imagined. The setting is interesting. I enjoyed the references to literature and the way books were a part of the story line... .' Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Set against the backdrop of the war in 1915, with the very real fears of invasion and bombings, the characters are beautifully drawn, especially the wonderfully bold and rather scandalous suffragette Violet who carries a few secrets of her own and who I immediately loved. This is to the amateur sleuths and their friends.' Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
