Second book in the series and it is worth the read.
The writing style is very poetic and has a rhythm to the story.
Ian is starting to feel better and get his confidence back in himself.
This is a true mystery style book, you will have to work out the information yourself.
A family suffers three deaths in a matter of days and something is more than a bit suspicious in Rutledge's mind. Proving it is a hard sell to his supervisor and the family.

I enjoyed the prose in this second book of the Inspector Rutledge series by Charles Todd. I thought the language poetic--CTodd probably did that on purpose since the story line is based on the suicide of a famous poet and her brother.
Rutledge hears the voice of a Scotsman that he executed during the Great War. Hamish helps him to solve the murders of a small child that took place years ago and to solve the more recent murder of a fellow soldier.
I gave the story 4 stars because I really had trouble staying with it. Perhaps it was the poetic language or the events surrounding the Coronavirus that kept me from enjoying it as much as I feel that I should.
You do need to read the first story in the series to really appreciate this story.
