The Rest Is Silence (Billy Boyle World War II, #9)

It seems we are inching toward Normandy, and this one finds Billy in the midst of a big training accident. Benn goes nearly full Agatha Christie with this one, complete with a manor house and quirky family full of secrets. He even gets them all in a room for a big reveal.
The mystery itself was pretty clear early on, and while there was a twist, it wasn't very significant, really more just a twist of the dagger to the bad guys.
Benn seems to be enamoured of tossing surprise famous guests into the story, which is a different (and more annoying) was to abuse coincidence than having characters Billy had come across before cropping up again. These two particular guests were really fun though, so I give it a pass.
This one even had a bit of a happy ending (though based on the summaries it seems it doesn't last.
