I loved the setting just after WWI, which is an integral part of the story. I thought the occasional shifting perspectives heightened the drama. There is also a love story embedded in the tale, one that never descends into syrupy melodrama. John Madden is a broken soul, like so many who survived the horror of the trenches. His relentless search for a strange killer is also a journey of his own healing.
