This is my second Bess Crawford novel after having previously read a Duty to the Dead. In this novel we find Bess involving herself in other people affairs when she nurses a badly burned pilot who carries his wife's picture on his person. Shortly after returning to England, Bess witnesses the wife and a possible lover having an interlude at the train station. The pilot dies and his wife is murdered shortly after leaving Bess hell bent on getting to the bottom of things. Several other people are murdered or attacked and soon Bess finds herself in the killer's cross hairs for asking too many questions. Bess is rather nosy and she doesn't mind butting into other people's business. The strength in this book for me was not so much the mystery. I didn't really care if the cheating wife got justice and the people she surrounded her self were for the most part generally unlikeable. Personally I love reading about Bess and this time period in English history. I wish we had the degree of civility described in this book in today's day and age. Men were not allowed in the upstairs flat? Love it. I guess because of the war it seemed that people really took the time to look out for one another, something sadly lacking today. I love reading about the time Bess spends as a nurse. I had no idea that the nurses were treating Germans patients as well as their own wounded. I looked up Edith Cavill which was an interesting story that I had never heard of. I also love reading about Bess's flatmates and about her parents. I especially love reading about Simon Brandon. When are they going to get together?. Their relationship is moving at a glacial pace and I really hope something develops on that front in the next book. Bess needs to start investing a little time into her own affairs.

How much do you know about Greek myths? You don’t have to know too much to enjoy The Lightning Thief, but it sure makes it more fun if you do! Percy Jackson is not a terribly normal kid; he’s been to six schools in six years, has major dislexia, and strange things seem to happen to him all the time. (If this is starting to make you think of Harry Potter, it’s kind of similar, but not a clone by any means) Turns out, Percy is even more not normal than even he thought; his dad is one of the Greek gods. You know, Zeus and Ares and Poseidon and all those guys (and gals). So Percy is a demigod, and he’s sent to a camp for other kids like him, located on Long Island. He has an adventure/quest to go on with two good friends, and after some twists and turns, makes it to the end of the book. Riordan peppers the book with references to different myths and traditions about the Greek pantheon, which make the book even more fun. My favorite was Percy’s sojourn to the Lotus Casino - he “loses track of time” playing games and eating great food, only to find that he’s spent 5 days in the casino without noticing - an homage to the Lotus Eaters section of Homer’s Odyssey that I was forced to read as a freshman. The Lightning Thief is a great adventure with likeable characters and some neat twists. The best part? It’s Book 1 of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, so there’s more to come
