Fiction. Suspense. Thriller. Historical Fiction. HTML:Through Anne Perryâ??s magnificent Victorian novels, millions of readers have enjoyed the pleasures and intrigue of a bygone age. Now, with the debut of an extraordinary new series, this New York Times bestselling author sweeps us into the golden summer of 1914, a time of brief enchantment when English men and women basked in the security of wealth and power, even as the last weeks of their privileged world were swiftly passing. Theirs was a peace that led to war.
On a sunny afternoon in late June, Cambridge professor Joseph Reavley is summoned from a student cricket match to learn that his parents have died in an automobile crash. Josephâ??s brother, Matthew, as officer in the Intelligence Service, reveals that their father had been en route to London to turn over to him a mysterious secret documentâ??allegedly with the power to disgrace England forever and destroy the civilized world. A paper so damning that Joseph and Matthew dared mention it only to their restless younger sister. Now it has vanished.
What has happened to this explosive document, if indeed it ever existed? How had it fallen into the hands of their father, a quiet countryman? Not even Matthew, with his Intelligence connections, can answer these questions. And Joseph is soon burdened with a second tragedy: the shocking murder of his most gifted student, beautiful Sebastian Allard, loved and admired by everyone. Or so it appeared.
Meanwhile, Englandâ??s seamless peace is crackingâ??as the distance between the murder of an Austrian archduke by a Serbian anarchist and the death of a brilliant university student by a bullet to the head of grows shorter by the day.
Anne Perry is a sublime master of suspense. In No Graves As Yet, her latest haunting masterpiece, she reminds us that love and hate, cowardice and courage, good and evil are always a part of life, in our own time as well as on the eve of the greatest war the world

Perry writing about England in 1914 at the very start of WW I. Very good/two brothers attempt to find out why and how their parents died in an auto accident that leads them into conspiracies that may cause war with Ireland or WWI itself.

Con la veracidad y el detalle que caracterizan sus novelas de corte victoriano, Anne Perry recrea el ambiente prebélico europeo, a la vez que nos introduce en la vida de los Reavley, que protagonizan la serie de novelas en torno a la Primera Guerra Mundial que se inicia con Las tumbas del mañana.

Interesting thing about Anne Perry books is that most of her characters have a certain introspective, poetic profoundness to their speech, which takes away from the realism occasionally, but, on the bright side, it does provide some genuinely good use of language. ( )

I read this book in a bunch of little chunks and would like to re-read it again straight through in a sitting or two to really soak up the flavor of the times that Perry captures. The characters really grew on me and I look forward to reading the other novels in the series. Perry does a nice job of capturing the idealism of the time. I liked the way Joseph comes to understand how idealistic he'd been, how blinded by what he wanted to see. ( )

The Reavley siblings--Joseph, Matthew, and Judith--are devastated by the death of their parents in an automobile accident. When the scene is examined, it appears their demise may have been aided by parties unknown to them. Mr. Reavley planned to share a document of world significance with his son Matthew who works in intelligence. Archduke Franz Ferdinand's assassination occurs early in the story. Soon another friend is killed. Joseph, a Cambridge professor and clergyman, takes a lead role investigating. With a mixture of cozy and espionage genres, this novel just doesn't achieve success in either genre. It's too political for lovers of cozies and too quaint for readers of espionage. Perry's Inspector Monk series is for more enjoyable. ( )
