Let Darkness Bury the Dead by Maureen Jennings

4.0

I was really curious what was going to be in the first Murdoch novel since the show came along. I can't say "extensive time jump" was what I expected, but it was a really solid choice. The WWI setting wound up being really interesting, and seeing Murdoch in his new role of senior detective was really interesting. Also I love Madge, she's great, would read a Madge spinoff. With the important role WWI played in Canada's history as a nation, there's a danger in overglorifying it, but Jennings steers clear of it and treats PTSD in much the way I've come to expect of her.
