Description

June 1920. In a house with a red door lies the body of a woman who has been bludgeoned to death. Rumor has it that two years earlier, she'd painted that door to welcome her husband back from the Front - only he never came home.

Meanwhile, in London, a man suffering from a mysterious illness first goes missing and then just as suddenly reappears. He is unable to explain his recovery.

Inspector Ian Rutledge must solve the cases. Who was the woman who lived and died behind the red door? Who was the man who never came home from the Great War, for the simple reason that he might never have gone? And what have they to do with a man who cannot break the seal of his own guilt without damning those he loves most?

Ce que les critiques en disent

"One of the strongest entries yet in a series that shows no sign of losing steam. Once again Todd perfectly balances incisive portraits of all the characters, not just the complex and original lead." ( Publishers Weekly)

Absorbing and Well-Written

Twenty-first century Americans rarely write convincing period-piece English detective novels; this series in the classic style appears to be an exception. I’m eager to read more.

Great book, Great listen!

I'm really enjoying the books by Charles Todd!Very enjoyable! Very much enjoying Simon Prebble's reading! It's excellent all around! Without having a lot of gore, it is not a 'cozy mystery'. It's just excellent writing and excellent narrating. Looking forward to reading more by Charles Todd and Mother.

unfulfilled

I start with this book, then stopped, then after a few weeks restarted.

This book has so much going on and so much unnecessary add ins it was quite confusing. For instance, the uncertainty and unspoken words between Rutledge and his female interest was so stilted and confusing. I wondered why it was included. then we have the drama between him and another detective, both of these aspects of the book aren't explained just plopped in randomly throughout the book almost like it was expected that the reader would already know about these instances and wouldn't need an explanation. well I confused and needed context. I guess that's what you get when you listen to book 12, but have never read any other books in this series.

Then we have the visit by his family, which is also stilted and I'm even more confused as none of these add to the main plot of the book.

The main plot is interesting as it's twisted but again it drags (I ended up skipping 11 chapters) and takes until the end of the second last chapter for the killer to be revealed. I waited for the tie up and none came. Again, an expectation that the reader can figure out the ending or make my own? I wish I could say DCI Rutledge is a know all kind of detective and drew the killer out, but he was just as surprised by the killer's identity as I was.

This book did not flow, I'm not sure if that was intentional so that the reader wouldn't be able to guess who the killer was or if we were supposed to be taken on a twisty turvy kind of ride and be so enthralled that when the killer was revealed, we would be awed and surprised. I was surprised, but disappointed, not awed.
