Review: Great blend of drama/mystery/romance/suspense during WWII

I love the setting of this story in WWII during the London Blitz. I love Leslie's character as he went through each day mindlessly as if stuck in a vicious loop. Worked in the day, returned home to a dark apartment, kept alert all through the nights for wailing warnings on approaching Nazi bombers, shepherd those under his care as he took up voluntary work as a Warden in his neighbourhood. And all through this hellish way of life, mourning for his lover who was taken abuptly from him. But how did his lover die? Clues found in his lover's drawings. Glimpses of his lover in his apartment. Was his lover there or was he hallucinating? Leslie had to know. The seamless writing just pulled me into the story and it is so much more as the story progressed. My only little niggle was the ending which seemed a bit unresolved or maybe it was because I wanted much more because of how involved I was in the story. Love the writing.
