What a ride! This book was totally awesome! I love John Madden, an inspector in this book. This is book one in the trilogy of John Madden. This book is set in England in the aftermath of WW1. Nominated for the Edgar Award for best novel. I read this long into the night, unable to stop when each chapter came. A real page turner. The New York times even mentioned it as a notable book. The characters, the setting, each move the killer makes in this book, the descriptions, the tactics by the constables, inspectors and the screwy minded killer make this phenomenal. This is a must for mystery lovers!
