'So Few Got Through' by Martin Lindsay
"On D-Day 27 officers and 565 men of 1st Battalion Gordon Highlanders landed on the coast of Normandy. By the time 51st Highland Division reached Bremen the following April, after ten months continuous fighting, 1st Gordons had lost 75 Officers and 986 men in battle. So few got through . . . "

Just finished rereading Fer de Lance and starting to reread In the Best Families. Both books are by Rex Stout and are part of the Nero Wolfe/Archie Goodwin series. Have read all books in this series more than once but they are just too good to cast aside

Reading Glass Houses, the latest in Louise Penny's detective series about Chief Inspector Armand Gamache of the Surete de Quebec.
If you like murder mysteries, this is a really great series because while each book has a mystery of its own, there is another set of dark mysteries that runs through the entire series, mostly in the background, but coming to the very front from time to time. That means you need to read them in order, starting with Still Life (2005). The good news is, if you like them, she's still writing!
