Customer Reviews

One of the best of the post WWII series with a female protagonist

I'm actually on book 5 of this series, which I find very satisfying. It takes place in rural British Columbia, Canada after WWII and follows a British intelligence officer's struggle to return to civilian life while protecting her former identity. A murder is discovered and Lane becomes involved with the local police inspector Darling. The characters have depth and are interesting, the descriptions of the locale are so beautiful, and the mystery complex. I'm hoping more people will discover this wonderful author after reading this review.
