Library Journal Review

The versatile Michael Kitchen returns as Deputy Chief Superintendent Foyle in the award-winning TV mystery series set in the provincial village of Hastings on the southern coast of England. These three episodes-"The Russian House," "Killing Time," and "The Hide"-take place in postwar Britain, where DCS Foyle handles a rise in violent crime as well as military racism, international conspiracy, and treason. Created by highly acclaimed author Anthony Horowitz, the series features superb acting, solid production quality, period clothing and vehicles, and compelling music. At times, though, perplexing and unexplained character motivation detracts from the plot. Foyle's War will appeal to fans of British mysteries.-Denise A. Garofalo, Mount Saint Mary Coll.
