Ann's War Mystery #4
Escape
March 1945. After six bloody, tear-stained years, the war was nearly over. However, for the German prisoners of war incarcerated in Island Farm Camp 198 the end could not arrive soon enough - so they decided to escape. As the German prisoners fled to all points of the compass, one of their number, Kurt Schneider, was left with blood on his fingers and a gun in his hand. Furthermore, a dead woman lay at his feet. Accused of murder, he seemed set to hang. However, Ann Morgan had encountered Kurt Schneider during his supervised labouring stints on the local farms. She had grown to like the young man and did not believe him capable of murder. Could Ann save Kurt and bring the true murderer to justice? Meanwhile, with her husband Emrys still missing in action, Ann found herself drawn to handsome widower Detective Inspector Max Deveraux. In the heat of the moment, could Ann hold her emotions in check, or would she cross a line into remorse and regret?

Just finished the 4th book in author Hannah Howe’s Ann’s War mysteries and needless to say, she did it again. I’m very impressed with her works and I have already pre-ordered the 5th book in this series. I will miss them when they’re gone, but again my thanks to Hannah Howe. I love to read and she has given me one more reason to continue what I love. How in the world could I argue with her on that.

The Ann's War series touches on the emotional effects the war had on people. It was more than the atrocities; it was the feelings of loneliness that separation from loved ones caused. Would women ever see their men again? If so, would the men be the same people they were before the war?
Ann discovers this is true about her own life as she investigates the murder of a young woman. Detective Max Deveraux says about her: “You always manage to see things from someone else’s point of view.” This is true because Ann often finds herself dealing with the same problems as those people she investigates. As with all of Hannah Howe's novels, this story delves into the human psyche, the things we do for love or hate are universal. This makes the characters alive and believable.
And you're in for a surprise ending.... What will the future hold for Ann? Will the war have turned her world upside down?

A good story
Very good storyline especially the ending. Looking forward to the last book in the series. I always enjoy books of strong women.
