Good mystery, lots of suspects for Rutledge to sort through. Towards the end, I found the book begin to drag so I began to skim read to finish off. Perhaps could have used better editing. Looking forward to the next instalment in the series that hopefully has better editing.

4.5 stars, one of the best Ian Routledge stories yet. The plot and supporting characters were well written and the ending was believable but unexpected

An interesting look at a village in England right after World War I.

Read this one in two days. I'm not a big mystery reader, but this book was fine for its genre. Enjoyed the description of Urksdale--Todd develops a nice sense of time and place. Inspector Rutledge comes off as a flat character, despite his running conversations with the dead Hamish. I'd recommend this book to Brit mystery lovers.
