Sidney and Verity are a formidable couple when they work together, but they are also very real. They don't leap straight back into life before the war but instead face many obstacles and struggles as they readjust to married life and post-war life. Nonetheless, the love between Sidney and Verity is real and true, and the way that Huber creates their re-blossoming love is genuine. Topped off with a gripping mystery, this will not disappoint.<i><b> --Historical Novel Society <p/></b></i><b>Praise for Anna Lee Huber's previous Verity Kent mystery, <i>This Side of Murder</i> <br></b><br>"Engrossing...Evocative historical details complement the well-drawn characters.
