Book Review of The Gate Keeper (Inspector Ian Rutledge, Bk 20)

The Gate Keeper (Inspector Ian Rutledge, Bk 20)

Although Rutledge doesn't spend most of the book driving around as in previous entries, he does appear to be as sleep-deprived as usual. I thought this was a good tale in the series and shows his meticulous investigating techniques. Characters are well fleshed out. It's not like those classic country-house murders where all the suspects are gathered together, so the culprit isn't in the picture early on. Only gripe is that I thought the motive for the killings was a bit of a stretch. (And I was very surprised when Rutledge let one suspect avoid answering a question he'd been worrying over for a while.)
