Long way to get where it was going. I liked the first one better but I'll read another. I do like the Inspector I think this one just didn't hit home for me.

Good mystery, but I think I liked the first one in the series better; however, I will keep reading this series because I think Charles Todd does a great job with his characters and I enjoy the historical aspect and the challenges that Inspector Rutledge is dealing with.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Motives and actions not believable. Loose ends and wasted efforts. Left me uninterested in pursuing the series any further.

Why do these mysteries leave me scratching my head. It’s like the mystery finally ramps up in the last 20%, but it’s slow and told in a confusing way without a totally clear explanation
And everything was written so confusing regarding the family, probably to lead an air of mystery but again I just have a confused look on my face. And the payoff never feels worth it!!
Also Hamish is a very annoying device in these books. I might give book 3 a go, but meh just as likely not to.

This is the second I haver read in the series and I love it. Yes, the story gets a bit unbelievable at the end, but what mystery doesn't. I read this in a day and look forward to reading the rest in the series.
