At the start of this third installment, the Brittle Trilogy opens with the devastating toll of the sweeping flu pandemic of 1918. Plot events carry the main characters through WWII providing a fertile backstory perfect for fate to overlap the paths of several characters. The captivating plot is unpredictable and keeps the pages turning.
Fans of the first two books will be happy to see the return of Richard Blackmore who was injured during the war and hospitalized for a long stay due to a head injury. The love of his life, Maggie, lives in hiding from her ex-husband and the man he hired to kill her. When Richard is able, he sets out looking for Maggie. He’s a good guy with dogged determination and even though years have passed Maggie doesn’t give up hope that she will see him again.

Book review: The Brittle Sky
I’ve had the pleasure of reading the entire Brittle Trilogy which spans decades from pre-WWI to post-WWII. If you’ve read the first two books in the series, book three will not disappoint. The entire series takes on Hitchcockian-style elements with climactic plot twists and an innocent man accused. I recommend the entire Trilogy to those who enjoy Historical Fiction. As a WWII buff, I enjoyed the historical threads woven into this work of fiction. I’d love to share my favorite, but it would be a spoiler, and I’d rather readers get the full enjoyment as the story unfolds. The pacing is on target. Believable. I am happy to give it 5 out of 5 stars.
