A good murder mystery
The memories of the war never leave Inspector Ian Rutledge in peace. He returned from the battlefield with PTSD lives each day with those horrible memories. The mother/son team aka Charles Todd write these novels of suspense...historical mysteries that build on each succeding book. In the Spring of 1920 he's dispatched to Berkshire to find a missing man whose work is so secret that no one never knows the true nature of it and makes things more difficult for Rutledge. In the ruins of a Yorkshire abbey, a man is found cloted in a monk's robe and wearing a gas mask. Todd has developed his character of Ian Rutledge so well that you can feel his pain and confusion as he tried to overcome the PTSD and solve this mystey. Not one of his best but I still enjoyed it.
