Helpful Score: 2

A great series, with the shell shocked Scotland Yard detective Rutledge and his executed Sargeant Hamish, who he carries as a ghost in his memory from the bloody trenches of WWI. "Sensitively written & intellectually plotted [it] is a magnificent story of the lost generation and the agonies they suffered... this book totally innvolves the reader in the chracters and their fates..." 4.5 Stars from Romantic Times. While the Hartford Courant states, " A profound and insightful rendering of a Britian bewteen wars." and how the war effected the men who survived! Author Charles Todd is actually a mother & son team, who do a beautifull job of story telling that really makes you feel for the characters. I have read the entire series & am just waiting for the next book!
