The sequel toBomber's Moonfinds Leslie Atwater living a quiet life with his cousin Caroline in an isolated village in the English countryside. With his lover Edward off again on assignment and his life circumstances forever altered by war, Leslie becomes restless and bored. It is January 1941. U-boats patrol offshore and are a constant threat to British livelihood, as are the daily bombings in London. But Leslie is far from the action. In an effort to lighten his mood, Caroline drags him to a first aid workshop at the vicarage. There he meets and befriends an enigmatic woman named Evangeline Blake, who resembles one of Leslie's favorite stage and film actresses. Then disaster strikes, and Leslie, Edward, and Caroline must work together to discover the truth. Was it a tragic accident or premeditated murder? Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

As last month, this again became an incident where I picked up one book to review and ended up buying another two.
Bomber’s Moon, Weep Not For The Past, and A Manx Tale, all set at the beginning of World War II, offer the plight of lovers who have been separated. At such a time as the war, this gives a sense of suspense as well as puzzle to each story. The reader forgets the other word in this series, Liars, until the very end. And while each novel is not based totally on a lie, mistruth or myth is prominent.
Skill is demonstrated in word and story.
All three books are written by someone who has control of the narrative. The characters are superb. A prominent female character, Caroline, rises above the male protagonists in her dramtic, comedic nature.
Romance, the books tell a tale of two lovers, men.
Intrigue, all three offer puzzled plots needing to be ferreted out, and while there are clues to lead the reader, the story is not ruined by making the clues so easy that the endings don’t come as a surprise.
