The Walnut Tree: A Holiday Tale - Charles Todd

Just as I was complaining about the love triangle the main character was selfishly continuing...I really didn't see that coming. Or maybe more hoped.

 

 

The man she became...sort of engaged to right as the war started came home with a prisoner exchange but he'd lost his right arm. She raced to Paris (breaking rules left and right) to be with him...but he wanted to call it off. She wouldn't hear of it and now she's found him in a part with his service revolver...

 

I didn't want her to be with him (Peter's way better) but come on! Didn't see this going quite that dark!
