Set in a military hospital in the English countryside during the Blitz, the mystery begins with an "accidental" death on the operating table...which leads inexorably to a chain of further deaths...
Chilling, tense and unexpectedly gory, this gives a real flavour of hospital life under those conditions in a really vivid way that gets under your skin.

Look, it didn't reinvent the wheel or anything but this book definitely kept me on the edge of my seat wondering who the murderer was and if they would strike again. The ending fully surprised me.
