A Long Shadow by Charles Todd

Hi! Remember that time I had horrible reader's block for an entire month and exclusively read Inspector Rutledge ebooks that I downloaded from the library? I wish I had more to say about them because I truly do enjoy the series but I read them all so fast that I really can't remember the difference between them. Particularly since every single one involves suspicious and distrusting locals, a beautiful yet angry female who will say at least once "I wish you never came here! You've ruined everything!", a resentful local police force who jeers at the fancy city boy from London, and usually a kindly doctor and/or clergymen who will nevertheless ask Inspector Rutledge how he can live with himself after digging through people's private lives. However, this repetition will not stop me from finishing the series. AND I DON'T CARE IF THEY ARE OUT OF ORDER (Bryan)!
