    About this audiobook

    Unhealed scars of the Great War still torment Scotland Yard Inspector Ian Rutledge. A haunted, damaged shell of a man, he has been sent to the small coastal town of Hampton Regis to solve a violent crime and to confront his own tragic past. An officer who served with Rutledge in the trenches of France before being sent backto England under suspicious circumstances has now been accused of savagely beatingthe husband of the woman he still loves. The suspect has taken the wife hostage, threatening to kill her and her maid unless Rutledge takes charge of the investigation.Although the case painfully mirrors Rutledge's own past and the love he lost to another man, he cannot refuse it. When the unconscious brutalized victim vanishes without a trace,it's clear that this peaceful little town hides a vicious murderer and secrets powerful enough to kill for.

    • 4/5
      A good psychological thriller. I really enjoy the post-WWI setting of the Ian Rutledge series.
    • 3/5
      I enjoy these mysteries but this one just didn’t make it for me.
    • 4/5
      The Todd's 9th installment of the Rutledge series starts out with a "Keystone Kops-like" police search for a killer in London. A rather off-putting beginning to this eventually good book about the "ultimate plod" Inspector Ian Rutledge. Despite working for a supervisor that is committed to causing his failure and bedevilled by his oScents of WW1 continue to befoul the Englis lanscape but do provide a useful authenicity for this interesting set of police procedurals.wn personal demon Cpl Hamish, Rutledge sorts out a series of murders in bucolis Hampton Regis.
    • 4/5
      I'd like to give it 5 stars, but to say it was amazing is a bit silly. The only book that I can qualify s amazing is the Bible but that is a whole other subject.

      Bottom line is I'm really enjoying the Ian Rutledge series
    • 4/5
      One of a series of Inspector Rutledge mysteries. Rutledge is a Scotland Yard inspector from an upper-class background, who served in World War I and had some horrific experiences. He is haunted by Hamish, a sergeant he had to execute for disobeying orders. In this book, Rutledge is called away from London to a hostage situation involving Lt. Mallory, an officer with whom he served. Mallory's former fiancee has married an older retired diplomat, and the husband has been found severely beaten on the shore. Numerous suspects and red herrings create suspense up to a surprising ending.
