Anthem for Doomed Youth by Carola Dunn (a Daisy Dalrymple mystery, #19). 289 p.Daisy and her husband Alec, a Detective Chief Inspector with Scotland Yard, are supposed to spend the weekend visiting Alec's daughter Belinda at her boarding school. However, Alec catches a case, so Daisy travels with a couple of her friends whose daughters attend school with Bel, and Alec and his team try to figure out who has murdered three men and buried them in Epping Forest. The mystery ends up relating back to WWI, and so does a situation amongst Bel's teachers at the school. I like this series for the post-WWI setting, so the war bits made this an enjoyable entry in the series. Unusually for these characters, Daisy and Alec are separated for almost the entire book, but it works pretty well in the context of the story. Plus we get to see more than usual of a couple of supporting characters, which was fun.
