PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
R. L. Graham is a husband-and-wife team of historians and writers with a broad range of interests in many periods of history, including the Belle Époque and the tumultuous years leading up to the First World War, and the post-war re-ordering of the world. They are very much drawn to the shadowy world of crime, espionage and political intrigue. They are particularly fascinated by historical mysteries, things which have happened but have no apparent explanation. Originally from Canada, they now live in a small village in Devon.
A wonderfully gripping read, capturing a vanished age and an enduringly fascinating real-life mystery, with a brilliant cast of characters and mounting tension. I enjoyed it tremendously -- Oliver Harris, author of <i>Ascension</i>, BBC2 Between the Covers Book Club Pick A vivid historical detective mystery coupled with an exciting WWII espionage drama, replete with sinister, devious characters -- Greg Mosse, author of <I>The Coming Darkness</I>
