A dangerous case with ties leading back to the battlefields of World War I dredges up dark memories for Scotland Yard Inspector Ian Rutledge in Hunting Shadows, a gripping and atmospheric historical mystery set in 1920s England, from acclaimed New York Times bestselling author Charles Todd.

A society wedding at Ely Cathedral in Cambridgeshire becomes a crime scene when a man is murdered. After another body is found, the baffled local constabulary turns to Scotland Yard. Though the second crime had a witness, her description of the killer is so strange its unbelievable.

Despite his experience, Inspector Ian Rutledge has few answers of his own. The victims are so different that there is no rhyme or reason to their deaths. Nothing logically seems to connect themâ??except the killer. As the investigation widens, a clear suspect emerges. But for Rutledge, the facts still don't add up, leaving him to question his own judgment.

In going over the details of the case, Rutledge is reminded of a dark episode he witnessed in the war. While the memory could lead him to the truth, it also raises a prickly dilemma. To stop a murderer, will the ethical detective choose to follow the letterâ??or the spiritâ??of the… (meer)

Another good Ian Rutledge story. He’s been given another difficult case to solve by his superior out in the Fens. Two seemingly unrelated murders by a mysterious “monster.” Hamish, the ghost from Ian’s WWI, is along to help him reason out the clues. Ian figures it's a trained ex-soldier, probably an assassin from the war and then has to figure out who he is and why these victims. ( )

A man with a rifle shoots first a former military officer, and then a man running for elective office. What is the connnection? Lots of great locale scenes and atmosphere.

Such a great series. Ian struggling with his demons from the Great War, often hunting men in the same condition. This one takes place in the Fens and has lots of atmosphere and colorful locale and locals as well as the psychological depths these books keep exploring. ( )

As always with a Charles Todd novel, a good mystery. Interesting setting in the Fens. Time 1920. Reading about police operating with very little communication (most of the small villages didn't have telephones) was a reminder of how very slow investigations like this one would have been. I have compassion for Rutledge, perhaps even pity, although he wouldn't appreciate that, but no desire to keep his company. Therefore, this book will find a new home as I won't read it again. However, if you enjoy historical settings with a good mystery and good characters, you should enjoy this. ( )

An excellent meaty tale with a side order of history and geography thrown in. I loved it. ( )

This book was a wonderful read! It did take quite some time for me to read it. The time it took me to finish it, however, should not speak for the quality of the book. It took longer than usual, simply because I have quite a bit on my plate at the moment.

I typically have more trouble enjoying historical fiction books. However, this one was definitely an exception. I loved getting to know the characters and trying to piece together the mystery. The majority of the characters in this book are very likable. I know that there are many books by Mr. Todd featuring the detective Ian Rutledge, however, I am sad to know that many of the characters in this book would not be featured in other books.

The only true complaint that I had about this book was that, at times, the author seemed quite "long-winded". There were times where I felt like he was dragging out things that were not very important. But, that is a very minor complaint.

I would probably recommend this book to anyone, but especially those who enjoy the mystery genre. ( )

Todd (the pen name of a mother-son writing team) has rarely been better.

For Robin Hathaway, author of the Dr. Fenimore series, the Dr. Jo Banks series, and countless short stories.

Robin was a voracious reader, had an eclectic library that filled three houses, and possessed one of the most creative minds we've ever come across.  She had plots and stories yet untold, and a love of the written word that was deep and abiding.  And she was a good friend, something that was very precious to a great many people, including us...What she didn't have was Time.

Here's to the Chrysler Building, Robin.  And all that it stood for.
