Thomas F. (hardtack) -
Huber delivers another good story about Verity and Sidney Kent and things which happened in World War I. Not everything was settled in that war, and not everything in this story gets settled in this book. There are one or two loose ends to tie up, but then Max hasn't examined the papers in his late father's office which are safely---and hopefully---still locked up.

This novel finds Verity Kent and her husband, Sidney, trying to help her friend, Ada, whose husband has been shot. Following a threat to her husband during a party at her home, she has become the chief suspect. Ada informs Verity that she did not shoot her husband and asks for Verity's help to find the killer. As the search progresses, there are other murders which seem to be connected to that of the Marquess of Rockham.
A colleague of Verity's from the war is killed during an assumed burglery where nothing appears to have been stollen. The sister believes that her sister was murdered and asks for help. The Kents are now searching for two killers.
As the novel moves forward the author connects these murders and others creating a tangled situation that the UK government would rather leave alone. A high ranking individual in Naval Intelligence may be involved, a man who appears in several other mysteries of thes series.
Yes, i've finied another Verity Kent book. However, I am a bit disappointed with the series. There are so many details repearted over and over from one novel to another that it's like readring the same book with changes only in the murders and the perpetrators. I feel that it could be one continuing novel. I hope others do not mind the repetition.
