A Fatal Lie by Charles Todd
I’m a sucker for a peaceful Welsh village thrown into turmoil when a mysterious body is found. And Charles Todd’s latest in his Inspector Ian Rutledge Mysteries Series starts off just this way, with an unidentified body fished out of a local river. It’s post-World War I and the village police turn to Scotland Yard for help and once Inspector Rutledge is dispatched from London to find answers but uncovers only a web of lies. The clever murderer stays hidden, and it will take all Rutledge’s skill to catch one of Todd’s cleverest killers yet.
