Joseph Reavley queda herido de gravedad en un intento por rescatar a un compañero de combate. Enviado a su casa en Cambridgeshire, Joseph se enfrenta a una lenta y dolorosa recuperación marcada por sus turbadoras vivencias bélicas. La visita inesperada de un amigo, que le habla de un invento que podría neutralizar el efecto devastador de los submarinos alemanes, y el asesinato, ocurrido días más tarde, de uno de los científicos involucrados en la investigación, demuestra que alguien está filtrando información confidencial al enemigo. Joseph requerirá la ayuda de su hermano Matthew –agente de los servicios secretos británicos– para iniciar una investigación. England + front 1916 — Reavley family 3rd in series — looking for Peacemaker who wanted peace at all costs — still not found! Angels in the Gloom is an intense saga of love, hate, obsession, and murder that features an honorable English family–brothers Joseph and Matthew Reavley and their sisters, Judith and Hannah. In March 1916, Joseph, a chaplain at the front, and Judith, an ambulance driver, are fighting not only the Germans but the bitter cold and the appalling casualties at Ypres. Scarcely less at risk, Matthew, an officer in England’s Secret Intelligence Service, fights the war covertly from London. Only Hannah, living with her children in the family home in tranquil Cambridgeshire, seems safe. Angels in the Gloom is the third book in Anne Perry' series about World War I. Joseph is wounded saving a life in No Man's Land. He's home on leave when a crucial scientist at the nearby 'Establishment' is murdered. Will the man's loss cripple the war effort? Ms. Perry manages to get Matthew Reavley on site for the Battle of Jutland. It's a tense scene to listen to. We know that Matthew is wrong about the Peacemaker's identity, so we get to wonder if he will find out in time. There's something else we know that Joseph doesn't and calls into question the guilt of Joseph's suspect. In fact, that leads to another suspect. It's interesting how much tension Ms. Perry manages to get in a battle whose outcome has been known for more than a century. Mr. Page's narration helps. I enjoyed the novel. Anne Perry made it interesting and was organized in her writing the story. The book was very discriptive and drifting in and out of different emotions. The war events were proper history and aventurous from both sides of the equation. The novel kept me compelled to read on for the sake of the (characters) people in the world of war. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
