This excellent crime series is set in West Ham in the East End of London during The Blitz (1940) and features
undertaker Francis Hancock, a half-Indian shell-shocked Great War veteran.
Barbara Nadel's sense of time and place
is outstanding. We really do experience something of what it was like to live through those terrifying days of the
London Blitz,  and the mysteries themselves are good also.
 The sympathetic portrayal of the lives and customs of
the  people  rings true, and all in all this is a most satisfying mystery series.

Martyn Read's narration
is heart-felt and compelling.

The dedication by the author reads: "To all of those whose minds
have been taken by war"

#1. Last Rights (2005). [10 hrs 29 mins] 
It is 1940 and London is suffering nightly bombardments
by enemy bombs. An undertaker in West Ham - Francis Hancock - is so traumatised by his WWI experiences in the trenches
that he can't seek the relative safety of the Anderson shelter and he is compelled to run through the empty streets
whilst London explodes around him. One night he encounters a man who seems like him - disoriented and screaming. Another
shell-shocked veteran? But this man says he has been stabbed...two days later he arrives in Francis's funeral parlour -
Dead! So starts this intriguing and absorbing mystery that takes us through the wartime streets of East London and
introduces us to the characters that abounded in the Jewish and Gentile communities, the ordinary people, the thugs, the
hookers - good and bad. A great read from beginning to end - highly recommended (M.Cate)

#2. After
the Mourning (2006).  [7 hrs 8 mins] 
It is East London during the Blitz, October 1940 and undertaker
Francis Hancock is called out to Epping Forest to attend to the corpse of a young gypsy girl who has died suddenly. At
the wake, a gypsy named Lily claims to see a vision of the 'Blessed Virgin'. Meanwhile the Military Police are looking
for a German gypsy - Martin Stojka - who they believe is a Nazi spy. Then Lily is found murdered. Could it be a crime of
passion or cold blooded murder? Is Martin Stojka who he says he is? There is someone lurking in the shadows who will
stop at nothing to find what Martin has in his possession...

#3.  Ashes to Ashes (2008).  [7 hrs 49
mins] 
It's the 29th December 1940, the night that Hitler has chosen to destroy London under a barrage of
flaming incendiary bombs. Their main target - St Paul's cathedral - is  where Francis Hancock is sheltering from the
onslaught. But the First World War veteran doesn't just have bombs to contend with on this night. A young girl, who was
also sheltering in the cathedral, mysteriously goes missing. Then some of those charged with protecting the building are
brutally murdered. Francis must face both his own demons and fears in his struggle to catch those responsible and bring
them to justice....

#4. Sure and Certain Death (2009).  [8 hrs 51 mins] (thanks to
meixiang)
London, 1941: Francis Hancock finds the brutally murdered, partially eviscerated body of a woman in a
derelict house in Plaistow. Francis' sister, Nancy, knew the victim. Then, shockingly, two more murders follow; again,
the victims are female, and also eviscerated. Rumours start to spread through the East End about a modern day Jack the
Ripper. When a fourth woman is murdered, Nancy finally admits that she knew all of the victims. They were all White
Feather Girls during the First World War; women who spent their time giving any man out of uniform a white feather as a
sign of cowardice. Francis is appalled to discover she was involved in such a thing. But, now terrified that his sister
might also be murdered, he sets out to find the killer and discovers a trail of murderous resentment that go back
decades!
