pickFinished this one earlier this week. A mystery set during WWII, Bridget goes to Agatha Christie‘s summer home to escape the war in London. There she helps protect kids being evacuated. A murder happens on the grounds and Bridget wants to try and solve it. A lot else goes on, but don‘t want to spoil anything!

pickGreenway,the Devon holiday home of Agatha Christie is set among gardens & woodlands that lead to a river & the English Channel.During WWII,parts of the home housed child evacuees,sent there from London during the blitz.Two nurses,hiding their own secrets, arrive there to care for the children.Undercurrents of mistrust, suspicion,fear, pervade the novel.Whose “side” are the characters truly on? How does a man‘s murder play into the twisty plot?
pickThis story is really interesting in principle as it covers a relatively unknown event in history. At least unknown to me. I do have some mixed feelings about how the story was blended together since this is real places and people mixed with fictional characters. Sometimes it worked well and other times it was muddy, but I love history, so this won out as a pick. It‘s definitely not as much of a murder mystery as I might have thought.
so-soDespite the title and blurb and presence of Agatha Christie and the fact that there is indeed deaths in the book, this isn't a mystery. Honestly, I'm kind of mad that I was duped into reading a WWII novel.
