The on...I don't think I ever heard of the guy. The only WWI fiction I remember reading are the first two of Siegfried Sassoon's autobio novels. Oh, I also read BIRDSONG by Sebastian Faulks which reminded me of Sassoon.<br /><br />I have usually ended up reading nonfic. The best one I found was on the tunnel war - and now I cannot find the dang title.<br /><br />Speaking of fiction, I'm going to attend Bouchercon in St. Louois this September rather than attend a library conference.Gerard Saylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00289822422163685990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-418420954850727676.post-77952831344627283622011-06-01T14:03:04.059-05:002011-06-01T14:03:04.059-05:00Have you read any of Charles Todd's books? I ...Have you read any of Charles Todd's books? I picked him up because of his name, but he's actually pretty good. The series revolves around a guy fresh out of the trenches of WWI and trying to resume his career at Scotland Yard. But he's also trying to hide his case of shell shock from everyone. <br /><br />His sidekick (his Watson, if you will) is a voice in his head. The voice is that of a sergeant he had executed for cowardice in the war and while it helps him solve cases, it also keeps nudging him towards suicide and/or insanity.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14234157827523482302noreply@blogger.com
