2024 book 183

 Christianna Brand's Green for Danger

Two points of interest: 1) Brand is also the author of the books the Nanny McPhee movies are based on; 2). It turns out I’d already read the first book in this series, back in 2013–I was even madder about the antisemitism then. This second book is way better in all regards, centering on several nurses and doctors at a military hospital during WWII, and what happens when a patient dies suddenly. The mystery was interesting enough and the setting was certainly unusual. I will probably read more in this series after a break for some other stuff. B+.
