Joseph Reavley queda herido de gravedad en un intento por rescatar a un compañero de combate. Enviado a su casa en Cambridgeshire, Joseph se enfrenta a una lenta y dolorosa recuperación marcada por sus turbadoras vivencias bélicas. La visita inesperada de un amigo, que le habla de un invento que podrÃa neutralizar el efecto devastador de los submarinos alemanes, y el asesinato, ocurrido dÃas más tarde, de uno de los cientÃficos involucrados en la investigación, demuestra que alguien está filtrando información confidencial al enemigo. Joseph requerirá la ayuda de su hermano Matthew –agente de los servicios secretos británicos– para iniciar una investigación. England + front 1916 — Reavley family 3rd in series — looking for Peacemaker who wanted peace at all costs — still not found! Angels in the Gloom is an intense saga of love, hate, obsession, and murder that features an honorable English family–brothers Joseph and Matthew Reavley and their sisters, Judith and Hannah. In March 1916, Joseph, a chaplain at the front, and Judith, an ambulance driver, are fighting not only the Germans but the bitter cold and the appalling casualties at Ypres. Scarcely less at risk, Matthew, an officer in England’s Secret Intelligence Service, fights the war covertly from London. Only Hannah, living with her children in the family home in tranquil Cambridgeshire, seems safe. Angels in the Gloom is the third book in Anne Perry' series about World War I. Joseph is wounded saving a life in No Man's Land. He's home on leave when a crucial scientist at the nearby 'Establishment' is murdered. Will the man's loss cripple the war effort? Ms. Perry manages to get Matthew Reavley on site for the Battle of Jutland. It's a tense scene to listen to. We know that Matthew is wrong about the Peacemaker's identity, so we get to wonder if he will find out in time. There's something else we know that Joseph doesn't and calls into question the guilt of Joseph's suspect. In fact, that leads to another suspect. It's interesting how much tension Ms. Perry manages to get in a battle whose outcome has been known for more than a century. Mr. Page's narration helps. I enjoyed the novel. Anne Perry made it interesting and was organized in her writing the story. The book was very discriptive and drifting in and out of different emotions. The war events were proper history and aventurous from both sides of the equation. The novel kept me compelled to read on for the sake of the (characters) people in the world of war. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

HTML:With this latest entry in a bestselling series that evokes all the passion and heroism of historyâ??s most heartbreaking conflictâ??the war that was meant to end all warsâ??Anne Perry adds new luster to her worldwide reputation. Angels in the Gloom is an intense saga of love, hate, obsession, and murder that features an honorable English familyâ??brothers Joseph and Matthew Reavley and their sisters, Judith and Hannah. In March 1916, Joseph, a chaplain at the front, and Judith, an ambulance driver, are fighting not only the Germans but the bitter cold and the appalling casualties at Ypres. Scarcely less at risk, Matthew, an officer in Englandâ??s Secret Intelligence Service, fights the war covertly from London. Only Hannah, living with her children in the family home in tranquil Cambridgeshire, seems safe. Appearances, however, are deceiving. By the time Joseph returns home to Cambridgeshire, rumors of spies and traitors are rampant. And when the savagely brutalized body of a weapons scientist is discovered in a village byway, the fear that haunts the battlefields settles over the townâ??along with the shadow of the obsessed ideologue who murdered the Reavleysâ?? parents on the eve of the war. Once again, this icy, anonymous powerbroker, the Peacemaker, is plotting to kill. Perryâ??s kaleidoscopic new novel illuminates an entire world, from the hell of the trenches to the London nightclub where a beautiful Irish spy plies her trade; from the sequestered laboratory where a weapon that can end the war is being perfected to the matchless glory of the English countryside in spring. Steeped in history and radiant with truth, Angels in the Gloom is a masterpiece that warms the heart even Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
