Watchers of Time: An Inspector Ian Rutledge Novel by Charles Todd
3.0
This book was a selection by the library mystery book club in which I am involved.
Scotland Yard Inspector Ian Rutledge is not yet able to handle full duty when he returns from the war, so he is sent to investigate the brutal murder of a priest.
During WWI, he had to order the execution of one of his men for refusing to obey orders. The spirit of this man, Hamish, comments on things, but only Ian can hear him.
A circus strong man is arrested for the murder, but he escapes and is found dead, apparently from the horse he stole.
Lord Sedgwick's family, sons Edwin and Arthur, are the prominent family members involved in this story.
Great characters and great story!
