Wings of Fire: An Inspector Ian Rutledge Mystery by Charles Todd

4.0

Wings Of Fire is a sensibly better book than its predecessor and kick starter, A Test Of Wills. The common thing between them are the descriptions of forceful personalities, natures, if not mettle. Another similar chord that struck with me is the aloofness, the cold, the distant colors put in use in the books. Alas that the author does not deem it necessary to go step by step to the primordial murders, and pertinently glosses over them. There was neither sorrow nor much fun in the fiber of this story. That's why its score is not perfect. But it's a wonderful study of human nature.
