Growing up in 23 seconds....

I'm currently reading NO GRAVES AS YET by Anne Perry. This is 1st of 5 in series of featuring Matthew Reavley, a British intelligence officer, and the Reavley family, in London, England, in the World War I. Here's a description:

On a sunny afternoon in late June, Cambridge professor Joseph Reavley is summoned from a student cricket match to learn that his parents have died in an automobile crash. Joseph’s brother, Matthew, as officer in the Intelligence Service, reveals that their father had been en route to London to turn over to him a mysterious secret document—allegedly with the power to disgrace England forever and destroy the civilized world. A paper so damning that Joseph and Matthew dared mention it only to their restless younger sister. Now it has vanished. What has happened to this explosive document, if indeed it ever existed? How had it fallen into the hands of their father, a quiet countryman? Not even Matthew, with his Intelligence connections, can answer these questions. And Joseph is soon burdened with a second tragedy: the shocking murder of his most gifted student, beautiful Sebastian Allard, loved and admired by everyone. Or so it appeared. Meanwhile, England’s seamless peace is cracking—as the distance between the murder of an Austrian archduke by a Serbian anarchist and the death of a brilliant university student by a bullet to the head of grows shorter by the day.

Published in 2003, it has 352 pages. This is from the library. I tried to read this when it first came out but I wasn't "into" WWI stories yet. Since then, I've enjoyed Charles Todd and others so I guess I may be ready for this again.

Also reading THE RINGS OF HAVEN by Ryk Brown. This is 2nd of 12 in The Frontiers Saga, a space opera.  Here's a description:
