" Wow... what a haunting series.. these characters will remain w/ you after the last page is turn... "

" Continuing saga of Inspector Ian Rutledge and the complicated murders he solves for Scotland Yard. This time everyone in a whole village could be the villain. Rutledge ties a great many loose ends together to find the answer at the very end. "

" It was worth postponing my nap. This is a good read. "

" Some Ian Rutledge mysteries have me completely stumped until the last chapters and racing to find out whodunnit... this one was sadly not so. A few surprises at the end, but then maybe "surprise" is a bit of a strong word. A few bits obviously placed in just so it can be used in future books. Overall I might even have skipped it. Hopefully the writing team will come back stronger in the next one. "

" Solid mystery. Hamish needs to fade into the background more as the craft of this writer takes over. I enjoyed this book. "

" One of the best in this series so far--an engrossing plot without the mix-up of characters or the bogging down that can occur in the Ian Rutledge series--obviously not enough to make me stop reading them! This one is a keeper. "

" One of Todd's best so far. The reader knows an important piece of information before Rutledge, so the game is in guessing how it will connect, rather than following blindly in Rutledge's trail. "

" Enjoyed this book, but wonder how long the gimmic of war induced insanity can endure. I am a little weary of it, although, I continue to like the characters and the writing style. "

" I liked the time factor in the story line. How an injustice can lie dormant for years, but will eventually surface and must need to be acted upon. "

" I very much enjoy this series of mysteries written by a mother/son team - with the character of Inspector Rutledge; a wounded veteran of WW1. "

" Detective Ian Rutledge is a WWI vet who now works for Scotland Yard. It's 1920 and he's suffering from PTSD. The mysteries are great and the dialog is pretty good. I've read a few from this series, and I'm going back for more. "

" Very slow and plodding and just not holding my attention, so I'm moving on. I may come back to this one later. "

" It was relatively clear who the murderer was from the getgo, and there was a bit of impatience on my part as I waited for the inspector to figure it out, but the usual context of WWI and in this book, the little-known Boer War helped keep moving the story forward. "

" This is one of my favorite mystery writers. The stories are haunting but the characters are so human and I can't help but cheer Rutledge on. Skillfully written. I wonder if the mother/son team of authors, who are American, get the details of post-WW1 England right. "

" A little different than most of the series. We, the readers, get the back story (Boer War incident) at the beginning but Ian has to dig for it all through the book. The ending kind of "tidied up" all the loose characters a bit too much but overall, still a good book, kept my interest throughout. "

" Latest in the Insp. Ian Rutledge post WWI series. He is a great character and the series is excellent. Have enjoyed all of the books in the series. "

" Enjoyable. Cannot decide if the give-a-way start and almost expected ending are the way to go or not. Not nearly as neurotic as earlier novels in this series. "

" another great story. a murder solved and justice metted out in various ways. always a wonderful read! "

" A good solid British detective novel, with a very haunted inspector from Scotland yard! I would read another in this series. "

" Via audio...main character is Scotland Yard Inspector in the 1920's. clever and also damaged by his time in The Great War. Great to listen to...thanks Marianne! "

" Don't you love reading a good book after a long streak of not-so-good ones? Another great Ian Rutledge story. I intend to take a look at their new series soon as well, but hope this one keeps going. There are fewer conversations with Hamish in this one--is this a sign that Ian is on the mend? "

" I almost caught up on this series and find it fascinating. Good mystery and if you want a wnderful picture of England after WWI this is the place to go. "

" I'm expecting to like this series and should have started with an earlier title. It's an historical mystery series set in 1920 in rural England. Interestingly, it's a team effort by a mother and son living in different states. I'm enjoying the lack of modern forensics and electronic devices. "

" This was my first Ian Rutledge read. I'll be reading this series again.

I thought the first couple chapters were tedious. But the rest of the book moved along well. "

" The solution seemed rather farfetched, but I liked the way they were always cranking up the motorcar to go somewhere. And I loved Hamish... "

" This was my first experience with a Charles Todd novel, and I'm impressed. I listened to this police procedural while commuting and was enthralled by the careful plotting and haunted protagonist. "

" Via audio...main character is Scotland Yard Inspector in the 1920's. clever and also damaged by his time in The Great War. Great to listen to...thanks Marianne! "

" One of Todd's best so far. The reader knows an important piece of information before Rutledge, so the game is in guessing how it will connect, rather than following blindly in Rutledge's trail. "

" In previous books in this series, I found Ian Rutledge a very sympathetic hero, but I must be experiencing series fatigue, because in this book I found myself losing patience with Hamish's comments. Not as satisfying to me as earlier stories in the series. "

" Until about page 280, I was totally engrossed. I loved the way the suspects were presented and enjoyed the detective(s.) The ending was what killed it- meandering and uninteresting. "

" Detective Ian Rutledge, along with his ghost, go to the west country to solve the murder of a wealthy landowner with a dark past. Lots of twists and turns along the way. Great story. "

" Well-written and absorbing. Inspector Rutledge is a sympathetic, well-developed detective. This is an intricate plot, more how done-it than who-done it. Worth reading. "
