Format:Paperback
I've already read the first two books in this series, but thought this was the best yet. Laura Wilson brilliantly evokes the atmosphere of wartime England; this might make you think the book would be gloomy, but she puts a lot of humour in there too. Plus the main characters are so well drawn you really care about what happens to them.

This is the second of the Inspector Stratton trilogy and is set in 1944, four years after Laura Wilson's initial story "Stratton's War". Characters are re-introduced including Ted Stratton's family and - towards the end of the book - someone for whom he worked during the Blitz. This is an absorbing book and could be described as 'un-putdownable', as the reader wants to know every part of 'what happens next'. The last one hundred pages are so gripping, containing as they do 'hammer-blow' shocks, that I read them right through to the end in one session. Thoroughly recommnded.

Format:Paperback
I found this book began slowly, and seemed a bit low on suspense, with the baddie shown up close. But it soon got me hooked. The two viewpoints - Stratton, the detective, and the chameleon con man - are equally compelling and very skilfully done. The hospital setting, as well at the big set piece of the bombing raid, is very vivid. Subtle characters, moral ambiguity, period detail - altogether a thoroughly satisfying read.
