Download The Red Door Audiobook

" superficial characters, disjointed read....I guess it's not a good idea to start with the 12th of a character...not at all the book I was 'sold on' from the library recommendations. "

" I loved this book. The perfect holiday read because the suspense kept me coming back for more. I could so easy visualize the countryside of Hobson and the solitude of the house with the red door. And best of all, a surprise at the end...my very favorite. I will definitely look for more books in the Inspector Ian Rutledge series. "

" I really liked this book. It was very interesting and held my attention so much that I finished it in two days. I lived in England for 3 years back in the late 70's. Two of my children were born in Oxford. And, we lived in Brill, Deddington and Upper Heyford. So, I recognized the places in the book. And, I still remember the Queen's English as well as their slang. It was a good mystery that keeps you guessing until the end. "

" I was getting tired of Hamish, but lo, he is not so present here. I liked this one better than the more recent ones. It's nice to see the authors can sort of recharge, maybe because of the break with their new series? Anyway, this is a good'un. "

" This was my first foray into the Inspector Rutledge series and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Once I got past remembering who was who in the large and extended Teller family, the twists and turns in the plot kept my interest. I also enjoyed the presence of Hamish and look forward to finding out more about his story in other books that are a part of this series. "

" A very good English-style mystery. I was able to guess a certain amount of the solutions, but not too soon, and not every detail--so just the right balance between suspense and letting-the-reader participate. I also really liked the tortured protagonist, even though I haven't read the earlier books in the series. "

" I continue to love this series and enjoy the stories! "

" I definitely did a speed read of this one. Having so much drama in the one family - annoying. Look people, get your stuff together. I kind of liked inspector Rutledge and maybe in the future I will give a Charles Todd another try but for now I am moving on... "

" A good solid mystery. I'm unlikely to seek out previous books by this author, but I enjoyed this one--and who knows, maybe I'll get in a mystery mood and start seeking them out. "

" I just wasn't impressed. "

" The plot is complex and multi-layered--amazing how it all comes together as a darkly dysfunctional family closes ranks. "

" Best yet! Will Meredith stay in London??? "

" Perhaps it's because I listened to the audio book but I felt that the book dragged and the character development was poor. I still don't know Ian Rutledge although his relationships with family and the woman he loves seems to be quite relevant to the plot. "

" Much better than I anticipated, picked up a nice copy at a lovely little bookstore in a small town. Have to support the Indies and the bookseller promised this was one of the "good ones." He was right, rich with the period, complex characters and a plausible but intriguing mystery. "

" good as usual...but I wish the Inspector could get some counseling or try to get over his war problems.... "

" Fascinating crime story--a World War I survivor who works for Scotland Yard and the ghost of the man he killed for desertion solve murders. "

" another great mystery. i figured out one part but was still surprised at the end. keep on writing this series!!! "

" I reaqd Charles Todd now and then. I like the time period - between the wars. "

" Interesting, Too many characters. Would have helped to have read other books in series first. "

" this is one of my favorite mystery series. The aftermath of WWI is a favorite topic of mine. "

" I enjoyed this mystery. It had a good plot and was well written. "

" Another great Charles Todd mystery featuring Ian Rutledge, his Scotland Yard detective. Although there are some serious and frustrating plot flaws, it's still a fun read. "

" A new author for me but I like the inspector from Scotland Yard so will investigate more by this author. "

" I liked this very much. Didn't figure most of it out until the last 100 pages. "

" This series gets better and better "

" I read all of the Inspector Rutledge mysteries. They are written with so much intelligence and atmosphere they are addictive. "

" A really good -- and entertaining mystery -- with a protagonist you've gotta love. "

" The plot is complex and multi-layered--amazing how it all comes together as a darkly dysfunctional family closes ranks. "

" A very compelling story, or stories, but in the end I didn't have all the answers "

" this was a good read. Not too exciting... just average I guess. I finished it though. "

" The series is getting to be a little repetitive. "

" I loved this book! Set in England and in a simpler time... A great read! "

" Not Todd's best. The plot is convoluted and Inspector Rutledge seems to be wandering around in a sleep-deprived fog most of the time, without a clue. "

" This is a very clever story, almost too clever. Would have liked richer character development. The love story thread was not kept going strongly enough throughout the story and made the ending surprising and incomplete. "

" I liked this very much. Didn't figure most of it out until the last 100 pages. "
