Well, jumping in at book 22 without having read any of the other books was probably not the best idea. I didn't particularly connect with any of the characters. I was also a bit confused because I thought Ian was talking to Hamish in person, but I think these conversations are maybe imagined? Having not read the previous books, this is probably a result of that. In terms of the mystery, I found it to be a bit bland. I was not at all surprised by the reveal since it's really just the logical conclusion. Overall, this didn't work for me unfortunately.
I won an ARC of this in a Goodreads giveaway from the publisher - thank you! All opinions are my own.

Found this one through a Kilt Mystery list on BookRiot..so..of course, I'm in! And even though I did figure out 'whodunnit' about half way through, it was still a solid read. More serious that the last one (Wicked Autumn) but also about 50 years earlier and in a much bleaker setting. I'm not sure why #22 was the one recommended but I can see starting this series at the beginning. Finished it in a day since overtime has kicked in! Yay Harvest??

I was lucky enough to win a copy of this from a Goodreads giveaway. This was my first book by the duo Charles Todd. While I usually don’t read series books out of order, I am glad I did so now.
This book was well written and the story held my attention the whole way through. I will definitely be reading more in this series.

Divided Loyalty is another great addition to the Ian Rutledge series. Rutledge is sent to investigate an unsolved case of a woman’s body found near the standing stones of Avebury. A previous investigation by the Yard reached a dead end, and Rutledge’s superior is sending him to re-investigate, and possibly give the Yard a reason to accept Rutledge’s resignation when and if he fails. The twists in this story took me by surprise, and made it a read-in-one-sitting pleasure. Frequent back references to earlier in the series will confront the long time reader, but not confuse the reader who is new to the series.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Narrator Simon Prebble is now firmly embedded as the voice and personna of Inspector Rutledge. #22 is one of the best I've read in the series. Tantalizing reveal- Does Chief Inspector Brian Leslie know about Hamish? I have a feeling their might be more to come on this subject.
