Describe the bug
When you delete a page from a chapter, you are returned to the book view, not the chapter view.

Steps To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

Go to a book with a chapter
Click on the chapter
Click on a page in the chapter
Delete the page
Observe that you are brought back to the book.

Expected behavior
Expected behaviour for me would be to go one step up in the breadcrumbs instead of going back to the book.

If you go from book -> chapter -> page -> delete, then it would make sense to me that you are brought back to the chapter

If you go from book -> expanded page list for a chapter -> page -> delete, then it would make sense to go back to the book (and bonus points if you can be scrolled back down to where the chapter is in the list)

If you go from dashboard -> page -> delete, then you should be brought back to the dashboard.

etc...

Thanks for the suggestion @cw1998.
I agreed that this behaviour would make sense. I have now applied this behaviour to master, to be part of the next feature release (v0.28).
