Book Reviews of A Test of Wills (Inspector Ian Rutledge Mysteries)
Book Review: Okay I know I AM English but...
Summary: 1 Stars
Thee were so many things about this book that caused me pain I could not finish it.
Looking for a new series and the reviews made this sound worth a shot so I actually bought two! Big mistake.
If you have never lived in England the premise may be interesting enough to keep you reading but as some one brought up there the errors of period etc. became unbearable...
Summary of A Test of Wills (Inspector Ian Rutledge Mysteries)
The Great War has been won-but victory has its price. The year is 1919, and Ian Rutledge has returned to London to resume his position as Scotland Yard inspector, bringing nightmares and ghosts home with him from the French battlefields. Tormented and suffering from shell shock, he is immediately plunged into the affair of a popular colonel believed murdered by a decorated war hero-a case that is a personal and political minefield that could destroy Rutledge's career and what remains of his sanity.
Having just returned from France after World War I with a medal of honor and serious shell shock, Inspector Ian Rutledge struggles to settle back into his duties at Scotland Yard. When, despite his tenuous condition, an envious supervisor assigns him to a traumatic case involving the murder of an army colonel and a young captain as the prime suspect, Rutledge must gather all of his strength to not only solve the case, but fight the town people's prejudice against military personnel. To make matters worse, the prime witness is another veteran--on the brink of insanity--scorned by the villagers for what they perceive to have been less than honorable conduct during his tour of duty.
