Subject:Fiction:Historical
Description:From Publishers WeeklyIn this excellent sequel to 2003s No Graves As Yet, bestseller Perry continues the exploits of the Reavley children, who lost their parents in a devastating car crash that proved to be no accident on the eve of WWI. The implications of that double homicide continue to dog Joseph, a military chaplain in the thick of trench warfare at Ypres his sister, Judith, a volunteer drivertranslator for the general in command of that front and their brother, Matthew, an intelligence officer. While justice of a sort was meted out to the man directly responsible for the murder of their parents, the Reavleys believe a master manipulator and traitor they have dubbed the Peacemaker, who seeks a radical alliance between king and kaiser to end the bloodshed, was the prime mover. When Joseph finds the corpse of an arrogant, bullying journalist in no-mans land, he soon realizes that a British hand was responsible, and that even in the midst of wars savagery, his conscience demands that he seek out the truth. This classic puzzle is nicely paralleled by Matthews dogged search for the Peacemakers identity. Perry cleverly resolves some plot lines while reserving the solution of others for future mysteries. Though her depiction of the ravages of war is not at the level of a Charles Todd, she does a superb job of bringing the grimness and waste to life, in a nice shift of gears from her two 19th-century historical series. br Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. From School Library JournalAdultHigh School - In the trenches of Flanders, the Reverend Joseph Reavley goes about the task of trying to keep up the morale of the British soldiers, extending his duties to assisting in bringing men back from the barbed-wired and mud-mired no mans land. When he retrieves the body of an egotistical correspondent, Eldon Prentice, every person who knew him confesses to being glad he was killed. However, it wasnt the Germans who murdered him, but one of their own, and Reavley decides to investigate. Perrys eye for historical detail masterfully places the main characters in settings exactingly correct for the era, whether London, the trenches, or the English countryside. The characters emotions and thoughts capture the confusion, frustration, and determination of those fighting the war. Without describing too graphically the horrors of the front, the author presents memorable tableaux of a soldier, an ambulance driver, a doctor, a field nurse, and those in positions of leadership and trust. The murder investigation and espionage greatly enhance the action and interest in the complex plot._ - Pam Johnson, Fairfax County Public Library, VA_ br Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
