“[Readers] are bound to be caught up in the adventures of Bess Crawford.... While her sensibility is as crisp as her narrative voice, Bess is a compassionate nurse who responds with feeling.” (The New York Times Book Review)
In the uneasy peace following World War I, Nurse Bess Crawford runs into trouble and treachery in Ireland - in this 12th book in the New York Times best-selling mystery series.
The Great War is over - but in Ireland, in the wake of the bloody 1916 Easter Rising, anyone who served in France is now considered a traitor, including Nurse Eileen Flynn and former soldier Michael Sullivan, who only want to be married in the small, isolated village where she grew up. Even her grandmother is against it, and Eileen’s only protection is her cousin Terrence, who was a hero of the Rising and is still being hunted by the British.
Bess Crawford had promised to be there for the wedding. And in spite of the danger to her, she keeps that promise - only to be met with the shocking news that the groom has vanished. Eileen begs for her help, but how can Bess hope to find him when she doesn’t know the country, the people, or where to put her trust? Time is running out, for Michael and for Bess herself, and soon her own life is on the line. With only an Irish outlaw and a man being hunted for murder on her side, how can she possibly save herself, much less stop a killer?

I love Bess. And every time someone tells her to leave it alone i lol inside because that means Bess WILL NOT be leaving it alone tyvm! Her intelligence, compassion and curiosity are so unique. Her sense of duty is full on this book. Making sure who she can save and protect is carried out. I enjoyed the plot and history very very much. I didn’t know this about Ireland history and so it led me to look it up after reading the book. I also truly appreciate her and Simon’s story. It’s not overdone and yet their affection and care has stolen my heart! I appreciate learning more about Bess’a feelings as she tries to work out what her next step in life & love will be. I hope Bess goes to Scotland soon and learns about Simon’s past soon!!! Also cuz I want to learn about Scotland through Bess’s eyes lol Thinking about waiting a full year for the next story is gonna be one of the hardest things I’ll have to do this year-no joke! Re-listening/reading here I go…!
Bess seems so grown up & Simon has my heart!
