In Flanders inJune 1917, a British officer and celebrated poet is shot dead, killed not by German fire, but while recuperating from shell shock well behind the lines. A young English soldier is arrested and, although he protests his innocence, charged with his murder. Douglas Konig, formerly a detective with the London police, soon discovers that both the evidence and the witnesses he needs are quite literally disappearing into the mud that surrounds him."

The First Casualty | Ben Elton
Pickpick

A book set within WW1 about a conscientious objector recruited to investigate a murder in the trenches. Overall good book however I found it to be predictable and a bit one dimensional. Full review here: https://thecuriousmagpie2018.wordpress.com/2019/10/03/review-the-first-casualty-...
