Watchers of Time: An Inspector Ian Rutledge Novel by Charles Todd

3.0

Reading this book was like being fitted with a new eyeglass prescription. At the beginning everything was fuzzy and I had no idea how the pieces came together to make a coherent picture. With each new insight a lens clicked into place, making things a little clearer. Unfortunately, though, when the last lens clicked in, I still didn't have 20/20 vision, and was left feeling fuzzy on all the story connections, rather than having the clarity I wanted. Todd inserted a lot of details and characters that seemed extraneous, just fillers, rather than being meaningful players in the storyline.

3.5 stars, because I loved the post-WWI England setting, and found Ian Rutledge a captivating character.
