My Thoughts - Murder at Merewood Hospital - Written by: Michelle Salter

 Murder at Merewood Hospital

The patients survived the Great War only to face a new danger…

In 1916, Sister Helen Hopgood was sent with a team of nurses to care for wounded soldiers at Merewood Farm, a temporary military hospital in Hampshire.

Now the war is over, only five patients remain – and she is the only nurse. The last ward must close, and Helen is doing all she can to find new homes for the injured servicemen.

Joseph Wintringham has to sell the farm to keep Merewood Manor. But since the murder of Nurse Taplin, locals believe the place is cursed - perhaps by the doomed nurse or by the patients who perished from their war wounds.

Is the hospital haunted? Or is someone very real behind the unnatural deaths that begin on Midsummer’s Night 1919?

Can Helen discover the truth before it’s too late..?

MY THOUGHTS

Murder at Merewood Hospital is written by Michelle Salter. This is the first book that I have read by this author and it will not be my last. This is set right after the end of World War II. I really liked how the author wrote how the war affected soldiers. 

Sister Helen Hopgood was sent with a team of nurses to care for wounded soldiers at Merewood Farm.  Now the war is over, only five patients remain – and she is the only nurse. The last ward must close, and Helen is doing all she can to find new homes for the injured servicemen. Joseph Wintringham wants to sell Merewood Farm - however the locals think it's cursed since a nurse was murdered and unexplained soldier deaths. 

I enjoyed reading this creepy historical mystery. There was times were the hair was standing up on my neck. The characters are well written - the story line will draw you in within the first few pages. 

Thank you to the author, publisher and Rachel's Random Resources for allowing me to read a copy of this book - all thoughts are my own.
