Recently read: Charles Todd’s A Long Shadow

I’m getting very fond of Inspector Ian Rutledge, whose return from the battlefields of World War I have left him anguished, and with the ghost of his sergeant whispering in his ear. In this novel, someone seems to be stalking Rutledge, leaving cartridge casings around for him to find in odd and private places. Rutledge has to head north to investigate the shooting of the local constable in a haunted woods, which seems to be linked to the disappearance of a young woman three years earlier. Rutledge hopes to be rid at least temporarily of his stalker. Not to be, however!
