She is surprised that the family of the soldier receive this message and appear to dismiss it immediately. Bess is concerned at their nonchalance to what the soldier has deemed a desperately important missive. Her determination to see this message through and to understand it's importance leads her into a course of events that she could not have imagined.
I was captivated by the character of Bess. She is definitely the type of person I would choose as a friend and confident. Not only is she smart and independent, she has a sense of right that won't allow her to let something alone when she knows it isn't right.
This story had so many twist and turns that I was eager to be finished one page to get on to the next to see what was waiting for me. I am looking forward to reading more of Bess's adventures.
Author Charles Todd is actually a mother and son writing duo of Caroline and Charles Todd. They are also the authors of the successful Inspector Rutledge novels.

I have tried to read one of their stories, but I seem to be the only one in the whole world who can´t really warm to their style.
This sounds really good. I haven't read any of their books, but I one on my to-be-read shelf. I didn't realize that the writing was a team effort. Interesting.
This sounds interesting! Is it part of a series? The first one? I haven't read anything by these authors.
This sounds just like the sort of thing I like. Thanks!
I have a book by Charles Dodd. It is part of Mt.TBR. Had I known that you enjoy Charles Dodd, I would have put it into the bookbox yesterday! I selected 5 or 6 of your additions!! Sorry that you weren't able to make it. I was looking forward to meeting you. Maybe another time!
