Watchers of Time Audiobook

Quotes

• “One of the best historical series being written today…in the grand tradition of English murder mysteries.”

  — Washington Post Book World

• “Rutledge, much in the manner of P. D. James’ Adam Dalgliesh, uncovers layers of ambiguity beneath the surface of apparently simple lives. That his own life is the most ambiguous of all, his own closet the most overflowing with ghosts, only adds to the sense of complexity. The crime solution here may be a bit too tidy, but the story’s rich texture more than compensates.”

  — Booklist

• “Rutledge is skeptical that Father James’ death is a simple case of robbery gone wrong. Was he murdered because of something he knew or had seen?…Rutledge must set aside his own problems to find out the truth. A gifted writer, Todd has once again created an intriguing mystery peopled with memorably unique characters. The depth of emotion that he expresses is truly remarkable. Highly recommended for all libraries.”

  — Library Journal

• “Atmospheric…The book’s overall theme is a compelling one: questions of guilt and responsibility after the debacle that was WWI…Like previous entries in this series, this one is psychologically astute.”

  — Publishers Weekly

• “Will please current fans and capture new ones…Todd deftly captures the dark atmosphere of despair and fragile hopes of post-World War I England, where no one has been untouched by the devastation. Teens will be intrigued by the combination of ghosts, the Titanic, battlefield flashbacks, and a traditional whodunit in which every character is suspect and there are no easy solutions.”

  — School Library Journal

• “At once poignantly moving and suspenseful…This is a series that only grows stronger as it goes along.”
