The tension rises slowly and inexorably, as Rutledge seeks to solve a series of murders. His super want no disturbance to the prestigeous family which is beset by not one, not two, but three related deaths. Are they murders? And the question as always is, whodunnit? Rutledge has his own ghost, Hamish, a Scotsman who was in the trenches with him in WWI, and his own anguish to bear. He seeks to drown out the memories and voices through tenacious and methodical detective work. The ending is unexpected in several ways...an excellent read and hard to put down.
