I do enjoy historical fiction, so this week I selected an e-book from BookBub, “Not the Faintest Trace” by Wendy M. Wilson.
It is the first in her Sgt. Frank Hardy Mystery series set in New Zealand in the late 1800s. The story opens with a small native family group attempting to escape pursuing troops. Before they can slip into the deep swamp, they are captured. The husband is killed, and the wife and another woman are taken away, leaving two little boys to a horrible death. Sgt. Hardy tried to stop the carnage but is ordered to move on with the other troops.
