Title: Angels in the Gloom_ A Novel Author: Anne Perry File Type: Mobi Subject:Fiction:Historical Description:From Publishers WeeklyStarred Review. This powerful and intense third novel in Perrys WWI series (after 2004s Shoulder the Sky) continues the Reavley familys anguished search for the Peacemaker, a shadowy figure responsible for their parents murders two years earlier, and now intent on Anglo-German world domination as a means toward world peace. After Chaplain Joseph Reavley is badly wounded in Flanders attempting to rescue fellow Brits under fire, he returns home to bucolic St. Giles for rehabilitation, but finds the village consumed by issues raised by the war. Perrys deeply held antiwar feelings are again apparent in this moving story in which the searing scarlet of grief destroys families of loved ones lost in the service, and the local vicar questions fundamental beliefs in the wake of mounting casualties. When Theo Blaine, a scientist working on a secret weapon to end the war, is mysteriously slain, the town is torn apart by fears of a spy in their midst. Josephs brother, Matthew, an intelligence expert, must work with seductive Irish double agent Detta Hannassey to determine the extent of Germanys knowledge of Britains war strategies, despite his revulsion for her duplicity. A climactic U-boat hunt and naval battle conclude this stirring work. br Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. FromThe third entry in Perrys World War I series moves from the horror of the trenches to the English countryside, where chaplain Joseph Reavley, wounded at the front, has returned to recuperate under his sisters Hannahs care. Still fresh is his grief for their parents, both killed by the mysterious Peacemaker, who, in the guise of seeking an end to the conflict, is sabotaging Britains war effort. The murder of a scientist whose work might have ensured Allied success leads Joseph (and his brother, Matthew, who works for British intelligence) on a twisted trail that they hope will lead to the Peacemaker. As in previous books in this series and in her Victorian detective series, Perry creates a meticulously detailed backdrop, whether home front or frontlines, while leaving plenty of room for her characters to contemplate issues of honor, loyalty, and love Will Joseph return to the front or minister to the bereft at home? Will Matthews growing affection for Irish double agent Detta Hannassey interfere with his mission? The characters, familiar now after two books, grow stronger and richer here, as Perry illuminates the emotional and physical character of war and asks the inevitable question, At what cost peace?
