The Water Horse - Julia Gregson
A bit too melodramatic for my tastes, with one dimensional characters and Victorian social cliches abounding, and it just peters out at the end. On the plus side, some good graphic descriptions of the wounds of war and the limited level of medical care available during the Crimean War.
