An Impartial Witness by Charles Todd

The mother and son writing team have written the second book in the Bess Crawford series. Bess is a nurse stationed in France to take care of the wounded during World War I. While returning with a troop of injured soldiers, she observes the wife of a soldier she helped transport saying a tearful goodbye to a man not her husband. The same day, the wife is murdered and within a week the injured soldier and husband is dead by suicide.

Bess provides what little information she knows to an inspector at Scotland Yard. With the help of her family and friends, she is determined to find out the tragedy behind the murder and suicide of two strangers who have touched her life.
