The star rating does not reflect on the book, it’s just not to my taste I do not like the storyline.

HIDDEN HARM picks up where GUARDED GROUND leaves off. The first book in the series isn't really a cliffhanger, but there is some unfinished business for Becky and Flynn.
Mystery in time of war can be tricky. There is the need to find a solution while doing one's job on the front line. It is also an opportunity to point out the advances in medicine and technology forced by the battlefront. This episode of the series finds Becky in the company of Marie Curie and her daughter Irene on a mission to aid the war effort and locate missing items vital to that effort. Flynn is, of course, part of that mission.
I appreciate the fact that Anna Elliott provides historical notes at the end of these books to let her readers know what is history and what is not. Combining actual people and events with a good story is a great way to impart archival information that stays with the reader.
As I mentioned in my review of GUARDED GROUND, this series is an offshoot of the Sherlock Holmes and Lucy James Mysteries. If you want to know just how Becky and Flynn fit into the extended Holmes legend, I would highly recommend reading those stories by Anna Elliott and Charles Veley.

Good story about a pair of minor characters in another fictional book series - Sherlock Holmes, both Becky and Flynn were part of the "Baker Street Irregulars" and are now successful adults in their own right, brought together by the tumultuous events of World War I. They are the two lead characters in this series, although Sherlock Holmes makes brief appearances throughout the series, but he is ever in the background, working to unravel a German spy network. Becky and Flynn are bound together by circumstances and their previous relationship in the "Irregulars", complicated by both events and their semi-recognized attraction for each other. each book in the series CAN be read as a stand-alone, but reading the entire series gives one a better appreciation of the political, military, social, and personal landscapes that the characters have to navigate.

Very enjoyable read.
Books 1 & 2 of the Becky & Flynn mystery series are both delightful additions to WW I era historical fiction novels. Slight inclusion of their mentor, Sherlock Holmes, added to the intrigue of these mysteries and was particularly well done.
The novel introduces us to the harsh realities of trench warfare as well as the important emergence of working & professional women. While the World Wars cost us dearly in life and property, they also ushered in a more equitable relationship between the sexes. All in all, these were thoroughly enjoyable reads.
Very highly recommended for all who enjoy early 20th century mystery novels.

Fantastic!!!😃
More please!!! 😁 I had no idea that x-ray machines were put into vans and driven around the villages and battlefields during the war!!!😃 The fact that Marie Curie invented this process is amazing, but to top it off, she drove the vans!!!😁(And she fixed flat tires and did maintenance!!!)
Thank you for such an interesting took into the past!!!😉 I obviously enjoyed Becky and Flynn very much as well!!!😄

Good Read
I liked the first book more, but this one was still good.
Becky and Flynn continue their investigations, looking for spies. But this is war, so everything and everyone are not what they seem.
This book is longer than Guarded Ground. There's a bit more intrigue, and enemy dodging though because while trying to root out a spy, there's also missing military Intel to recover...

Very Suspenseful-Fun-To Read
I love the characters and have read all her books—hoping for more. Would love more when they were young as well. This mystery threads historical facts within the story. The suspense continues to build. Very gifted writer! I highly recommend this series along with her other books.

A meeting with Madame Cure
Becky and Flynn are at a hospital near the front where they previously had dealt with Nurse Russell, the traitor. Once again a situation as rises where Flynn attempts to get hold of material critical to b the war effort . Fighting the enemy and solving another mystery at the same time, this is an excellent read I recommend it.

Engrossing and entertaining!
I am really enjoying this series. The plotting is intricate and not predictable and Anna Elliot’s writing is a pleasure to read. Having Becky and Flynn, now aged to adults during WWI, was a wonderful development. I can’t wait to read the next one!

On the front lines in WWI
Becky and Flynn work to save lives and secure military intelligence in France. Marie Curie and her teenage daughter Irene add historical realism to this excellent novel. Cameo appearance by Sherlock Holmes. Enjoy!

Great story
Just as good as the first one. I'm moving right along to the third. My only quibble is that they are a bit short. It takes several to add up to a normal book? So not a bad binge choice
