Laurie R. King's O Jerusalem
Yet another Mary Russell book is enlivened by a trip to Palestine in 1918. General Allenby* makes a cameo appearance, as does my favorite old-timey spelling of a word ("orang-outang", first read in a Poe story, the meaning of which I couldn't puzzle out till I asked my dad aloud what it meant). The usual hijinks and adventures ensue, and I'll still not tired of this series so I'll give it an A.
