Fiction. Mystery. HTML:

After two London men end their business partnership, one of them is savagely murdered in a medieval tithe barn on his estate in Somerset. Investigating the killing, Scotland Yard Inspector Ian Rutledge discovers that the victim was universally despised in Cambury-even the victim's wife and the town's police inspector are suspect. And yet in London circles, the man was highly regarded. What triggered his death? Rutledge doggedly follows a well-concealed trail that finally leads him to the one person who knows the whole truth. But it's too late to stop a spreading evil and a vicious settling of scores. As the seasoned inspector comes to understand the larger picture, he realizes he may not be able to prove what he suspects. In spite of his skill, this may be the only case in which Rutledge fails to get his man.

brother of man murdered in Boer War manipulates one perp into killing the other

This one was a page turner! What a surprise and sad twist at the end. I was afraid we'd never see the South African elements brought back into play but finally at the end. And Padgett....ohmygreatgooglymoogly...what a character! Ugh! ( )

Rutledge is sent to Somerset to investigate a bizarre murder. The death of the local squire, now a very successful financial adviser in London who got his start with money stolen during a honorific Boer War ambush, causes quite a stir in a rural community. Disliked by virtually everyone in his small town, Rutledge doe not lack for suspects. Beset by his usual WW1 demons, he sorts through sparse evidence, myriad motives and rampant attempted suicides to a painstakingly slow solution. Which solution, unfortunately, results in several more deaths from his pursuit of this matter of justice. ( )

I really enjoyed this mystery - I knew there had to be a link between the first chapter and the solving of the murder, but didn't quite know how they fit together. I found this very suspenseful and also moving as it dealt with Ian's mental health issues. ( )

Very well done mystery. At first the reveal at the beginning had me searching for how the detective was going to uncover the evidence, since I was as much in the dark as he was. But then by the very end, there was one twist too many, and I kind of lost respect for the abrupt timing at the end... not to say that the bulk of the story was not interesting and most compelling- I couldn't put it down for 5 hours! Much enjoyed.
Definitely thought it better than the other Charles Todd I read about the disabled persons' house in the south. ( )

Here the mother and son who write under the name Charles Todd get it all right: a shocking crime in a bucolic setting; secretive characters who act from complex motives; a confounding puzzle elegantly presented and put before a detective with an intuitive understanding of the dark side of human nature.
