We Shall not sleep is book 5 of Perry’s World War 1 series about the Reavley Family and the conflict that was the War to end all Wars. This was probably the best one of the series as it tied up all the loose ends and finally, finally revealed who the ‘Peacemaker’ was. The drama involved the solving of a particularly henious murder of a nurse, the race to London to reveal the peacemaker before they could be stopped, a love story and lots of reflection on the costs of war. This series did not move particularly quickly and some of the philosophical points that Perry injects into the novel get a bit tiresome after awhile, but over all the story was a good one.
