I received this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is a fantastic mystery fiction weaved into the historical details around Agatha Christie's country home the Greenway House during WWII evacuation of children from the bombings in London.

I love that this was spun as an adjacent story happening at the home of the notorious murder author. The evolution of the nurses' motivations. And the very real background of wartime (that no one knew when would end), loss and death, life through the eyes of children, and the human capacity to persevere and adapt.

My only critique is that I would have loved an expanded Author's Note to better detail the historical from fiction. I'm a lover of history, so it would have been fascinating to have a clearer understanding of the nuances between the details.

This is a fast read, will keep you interested, and you won't regret picking up a copy.

A really good book. I think the first time I've seen a book focused on wetlands in an approachable way that connects all the stories of people affected by sea level rise, up and down the East and West coasts. Presenting the stories, strategies, and options facing the communities, flora, and fauna at risk.
