The second book of a series that I continue to enjoy. As with the first book, the mystery was convoluted and not quite realistic. But, the historical context was excellent. I could believe in the good Dr. Watson as a pioneer in the humane treatment of shell shock. Winston Churchill’s involvement in the early development of tank technology was an interesting addition (although, probably highly fictionalized). The very evil German spies pushed this book into the suspense/thriller category; a bit over the top in violence and improbable escapes, but entertaining.
