DI Ted Stratton

review 1: The second in the Ted Stratton series continues WWII London, grey with shortages, worry, and the dust of bombings. For someone born since 1990 some what happens would be unthinkable--like pubs closing on weekends because there is no beer. And, it is these little details and privations that are so evocative. Laura Wilson spares no one. There are two shocking deaths and lots of plot twists. This novel focuses on the medical world and an impersonator. From the beginning we sort of assume he is the killer of the first victum. A little slow and convoluted at times, especially when detailing some of the slog of police work this is nonetheless a good read and at times a page flipper.
review 2: Another solid entry in the series. Once again set in WWII London the book ... moremixes a riveting procedural with precise period detail. This time the vetran police officer is on the tail of an identity thief who murders to protect his new life. In addition to the mystery there is a strong subplot involving the ravages of a PTSD variant. Add a shocking twist at the end and you pretty much have a perfect reading experience less
