A Question Of Honor By Charles Todd Review-Post
Bess Crawford's father's regiment has a murderer in it's ranks who has killed five people. She is determined to find out who is responsible and pay for these crimes. It is very interesting to me how she finds her information and her clues to come to the final conclusions. This is the second book in this series I have read and hope to enjoy more of them.
