My favorite reading experience is finding a book that looks interesting at a library sale or used bookstore, and reading it without knowing much about it. I found this book at a Topsfield Library booksale at a craft fair.
It's a mystery story set during and right after WW1. The Captain John Emmett of the title is a man we never meet, the story starting after this man has (ostensibly) committed suicide. The main character, Laurance Bartram, is another WW1 veteran with a past, although slight, relationship to Emmett. He investigates Emmett's death at the behest of Emmett's sister Mary, who Bartram has an interest in.
Naturally there is more to Captain Emmett's death than first meets the eye. This is a good, satisfying mystery story.
