In This Grave Hour by Jacqueline Winspear
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Things are getting more like war. Blackout curtains, no driving at night, things like that. Children have to find safer places to live. People are dying in the war. That makes adoptions necessary.
And the deaths are not just war-related. Life not in the line of fire goes on the best way it can. So murders happen. But it is more complicated. Harder to nail down what caused a death. And so on.
Maisie is called upon to figure out why a young man died. And although it seems easy and safe, it is actually complicated and involves much more than expected.
This book seems to be my favorite so far. There is so much here to digest. This kind of life has not been something my generation has had to experience, but I think it’s good to learn what we can from those who have been through it.
Jacqueline Winspear’s writing and research are fantastic. Orlagh Cassidy’s narration only gets better! I feel so fortunate that my friend, Kay, recommended this series, and that Libby has them available. I highly recommend these books.
