The Winter Garden Mystery / Carola Dunn

The Winter Garden Mystery by Carola Dunn (A Daisy Dalrymple mystery #2). 240 pp.

I don't know how historically accurate the setting for these books is--it's England, 1923--but they really make me feel the aftereffects of WWI. Particularly noticeable is the large number of men of a certain age who are crippled in various ways, as well as the number of dead. The books aren't "about" that as such--they're cozy mysteries--but the setting is what makes them interesting to me.
