Staff Recommendation - Green for Danger

Green for Danger
by Christianna Brand

A military hospital in a rural village in England during World War II is the setting for this mystery, which is considered one of the best of the Golden Age of mysteries. Amid the bombs and air raids works a group of medical staff, attempting to heal, cure and operate on the wounds of war. Some are volunteers, happy and earnest to do their part for the war effort. Those assigned there are either resigned to it or enter the door kicking and screaming. The patients are a blend of those on the mend or those needing the best this short-handed group has to offer. The village postman IS an unexpected patient. Although his injuries are quite routine, his stay at the hospital ends up in the morgue! -- recommended by Evelyn D. - Bennett Martin Public Library/Technical Processes
