Summary

Summary

A New York Times bestseller

A 2012 Agatha Award Nominee for Best Historical Novel

In the spring of 1918, the Spanish Flu epidemic kills millions of soldiers and civilians across the globe. Overwhelmed by the constant flow of wounded soldiers coming from the French front, battlefield nurse Bess Crawford must now contend with hundreds of influenza patients as well. Concealed among the dead waiting for burial, Bess discovers the body of an officer who has been murdered—a family friend. 

Working her father's connections in the military, she begins to piece together what little evidence she can find to unmask the elusive killer and see justice served. However, the tenacious and impetuous nurse must be vigilant; with a determined killer on her heels, each move she makes may be her last.

Editorial Reviews

“Bess Crawford, the World War I nurse in Charles Todd’s vivid period mystery series, sees more battlefield action in An Unmarked Grave…Todd saves the narrative from turning into a home-front whodunit through adroit plot maneuvers that keep sending Bess back to the battlefield.” New York Times Book Review
“Mr. Todd has a sharp eye for scene and character, and he surrounds his leading lady with a lively cast.” Washington Times
“Outstanding…Caroline and Charles Todd, the mother-son team who write as Charles Todd, remain unmatched in their ability to convey the horrors of trench warfare and the effect on its participants.” Publishers Weekly (starred review)
An Unmarked Grave is high-quality historical mystery at its finest.” Bookreporter.com
