In Cambridge, in 1914, the golden June days seem timeless. But for Joseph Reavley, a university don, the idyllic summer is shattered by his parents' deaths in a car accident. Bringing the terrible news, his brother reveals that their father, a retired MP, had been travelling to see him about a sinister plot he had discovered. Matthew's job in the secret service means that he would understand the mysterious document their father possessed, but when the brothers hunt for it, the document is nowhere to be found. Returning after the funeral with their two sisters, Joseph and Matthew become convinced that their parents' house has been searched. Does someone else know of the missing document As their suspicions grow, they visit the scene of the crash and examine their parents' ruined car, and find subtle evidence that their deaths may not have been accidental after all. No Graves As Yet is the utterly compelling first of a five-novel sequence that is a searing, ambitious and masterly portrait of England through the First World War.

Anne Perry is renowned for her Victorian murder mysteries. Here she moves into the Edwardian era and the start of WW1.
Not always fast-moving and a bit too much explanation of the thinking of each individual for my liking. Sounds a little bit patronising.
Some technical inaccuracies -- e.g. in this volume people are described as getting into their cars and then starting them -- which they couldn't do in 1914 as the electric self-starter hadn't been invented and other forms of self-starter hadn't been fitted to the makes referred to. Obviously she's picked up on that particular point because later in the series that's been corrected.
