It's July 1917, and as the sun sets over No-man's-land so Joseph Reavley's heart sinks with it. As chaplain he must keep up the men's morale, but as rumours of mutiny grow stronger he is losing any chance of getting through to them. After the death of an officer, twelve soldiers are arrested, and it falls to Joseph to uncover the truth about their involvement.

As he embarks on an investigation Matthew knows his own life is in danger but thinks it a small price to pay to secure the future of millions of people.

I have read four of Anne Perry's World War I series and found them each good. At Some Disputed Barricade follows the pattern of the first three. It is interesting to follow the story of the Reavley family, see the current book's mystery solved and continue in the saga to discover the indentity of the Peachmaker. This book in particular gives one a feel for how awful the trenches and warfare were.

One Barricade Too Many
I have devoured every one of Anne Perry's books, but this left me a little depressed. There was too much graphic description, I thought, of war casualties and overly- morbid detail. Ms. Perry has a unique ability to pull you in completely to her story and because she is so talented at bringing her characters to life she needn't have spent so much time emphasizing stench, etc. I will continue to read her but couldn't truthfully recommend this one, unless you like a lot of gore to get you into the story.
