Bess Crawford Books in Order, by Charles Todd

ByThe Lab Guy

Bess Crawford, a British Army nurse, becomes involved in solving mysteries while caring for wounded soldiers during the war.

The series follows her experiences on the front lines, where she often finds herself amid dangerous situations and uncovers various secrets. Bess’s strong sense of duty and commitment to truth and justice drives her to investigate crimes and seek resolutions.

As the series written by Charles Todd (Inspector Ian Rutledge) progresses, Bess continues her nursing career in post-war England, and each installment typically involves her becoming embroiled in a new mystery.
