Genre - Mystery


This is the final novel in Perry’s WWI series. Chaplain Joseph Reavley must find out who murdered Nurse Sarah Price at a Casualty Clearing Station in France in the last weeks of the war. The possible suspects include wounded soldiers, medical staff & German prisoners. One of the German prisoners, Schenckendorff, is a vital witness in the plot that Joseph & his brother Matthew, an intelligence officer, have been trying to foil throughout the war. When Schenckendorff is arrested for Sarah Price’s murder, the Reavleys must find the real killer & get Schenckendorff to London before the Armistice is signed. As this is the end of a long series, all the strands of a complex plot must be resolved. Joseph & Matthew, along with their sisters, Judith & Hannah, have been searching for the man they call the Peacemaker, a traitor to Britain’s war effort, who has murdered many people, including their parents. The Reavleys must also find a way to deal with the traumas & grief they’ve suffered & look towards the future.
