A Duty to the Dead by Charles Todd.
This is the start of a new mystery series starring Bess Crawford, a WWI nurse. We meet Bess just before her hospital ship, the Britannic (sister ship of the Titanic), is blown up by a mine in the Mediterranean. While she recuperates and waits for her new orders, she decides to fulfill a promise she made to deliver a message to the brother of a soldier who died in her care. Off she goes to Kent where she meets the dead soldier's family and discovers that they have hidden away both a brother and a murder. Bess' sense of justice requires her to set things right and make sure that the true murderer is identified.
