This is Charles Todd's first Ian Rutledge novel. I was especially looking forward to reading a novel placed in the time frame immediately following WWI. For the Anglophile this book does the trick. The characters are richly drawn and the story compelling. I am definitely planning on reading further Ian Rutledge mysteries after spending a dreary February day reading this good read.

Both unusual and remarkable. I'm not usually a detective/mystery fan but this one is so much more. Set in post World War I small-village England, the tale has both nothing and everything to do with that war. Remained a psychological and sophistocated puzzle until the end.

book # one in the Inspector Ian Rutledge series. This is a well crafted mystery and psychological drama set in post WWI England. If you like well written "intelligent" mysteries. then rea this one.
I loved this book! Great series - can't believe I had never come across it before.
Excellent story of a post WWI army veteran returning to his pre-war role of policeman. As good as anything by Anne Perry.
