Description
Charles Todd (pen name for American mother-son team Caroline and Charles Todd) began writing with a post-World War I mystery series featuring shell-shocked Ian Rutledge, an upper-class Scotland Yard detective whose envious superior keeps trying to get rid of him. The vividly described settings around Britain, interesting secondary characters, and slowly revealed solutions enhance the fascinating character of Rutledge, who is tormented by the voice of Hamish, a sergeant he was forced to execute during the war. Their more recent series featuring World War I nurse Bess Crawford, and their standalones, are equally well plotted and elegantly written. Start with: A Test of Wills
