As they were largely focused on historic crimes, this book had less of a pacy feel than the previous in the series and the family tree did get a bit confusing for me, but still another enjoyable read! 

At this point I’m mainly reading for

the will-they, won’t-they nature of Ruth and Nelson’s relationship!

Ruth Galloway reunites  with Frank Barker to tell the story of a dead pilot found in a WW2 plane.

PROS:

• Cathbad the dad!

  Ruth’s pining for Nelson.
