A review by zade
Hunting Shadows by Charles Todd

4.0

While I'm not sure what possessed me to get a copy of this novel, I'm certainly glad I did so. I'm more of a thriller reader than a traditional mystery reader, but I'm quite sure I'll be reading the entire Inspector Rutledge series in short order. The plot was quite interesting and the authors have a knack for bringing to life both the people in the story and the landscapes they inhabit. I could not tell at all that the book was written by a duo as the authorial voice was entirely consistent throughout. Also, for American authors, they have a good sense of British language and mores in the era they depict. Their research must be prodigious. I highly recommend this novel for anyone who enjoys a good British mystery and for other readers looking for a well drawn, complex protagonist.
