Subject: The Mapping of Love and Death
The war is actually WWI, although much of the action takes place post-war.
The series is better written than it sounds. Miss Dobbs is an psychiatrist
who solves unconventional mysteries, not always involving murder. I think
she's a bit of a know-it-all but I guess I'll read this one because of the
map angle.
