Title: Ian Rutledge Series
Product review: I have enjoyed this series. I recommend that readers new to Ian Rutledge (the detective) start with the early books if possible. It helps to understand the war trauma Rutledge suffered and resulting discussions Rutledge has with a deceased comrade from the horrific warfare in France in World War I. (I won't say more about these converesations because a new reader needs to read about these first hand from the books.) There was in this book, as in others featuring Rutledge,interesting twists and turns in the story and multiple story lines keeping you wondering what the connections are among the different cases Rutledge is investigating. There are descriptions of the impact of WW1 on England and the returning solidiers. Besides being a good mystery, I think the the Rutledge character offers insights into the PTSD veterans of earlier wars suffered.
