Description

"One of the best historical series being written today."

—Washington Post Book World

The accolades keep pouring in for Charles Todd and his New York Times Notable, Edgar® Award-nominated series featuring British police inspector and shell-shocked World War I veteran Ian Rutledge. In The Red Door, a disturbing puzzle surrounding a lie, a disappearance, and a woman's death ensnares the haunted investigator. Richly atmospheric and unputdownable, The Red Door proves once more that New York Times bestseller Charles Todd belongs in the august company of Ruth Rendell, Anne Perry, Martha Grimes, Ian Ransom, Peter Robinson, P.D. James, and the other contemporary masters of British mystery.

        "Compelling." — San Jose Mercury News on The Red Door

        "Engaging and atmospheric." — Library Journal on The Red Door

        "A complex story with lots of unexpected twists and turns....A fun ride to a surprising conclusion." — Mystery Scene on The Red Door

        "Superb...haunting tale of love and loss." — Globe and Mail (Toronto) on The Red Door

        "In The Red Door, Charles Todd shows again that this series about Ian Rutledge, a battle-fatigued World War I veteran and Scotland Yard detective, is as fresh and original as when the shell-shocked detective debuted 12 novels ago." — Sun-Sentinel (Florida) on The Red Door

        "An intriguing story that's impossible to put down...reminiscent of Agatha Christie." — Post and Courier (Charleston, SC) on The Red Door

        "The book is more than a whodunit. Todd's characters are well-wrought, his settings evocative, and the book a pleasure to read." — World magazine on The Red Door

        Starred review from December 7, 2009
        Set in 1920, bestseller Todd's 12th mystery to feature the shell-shocked WWI veteran and Scotland Yard inspector Ian Rutledge (after 2008's A Matter of Justice
        ) is one of the strongest entries yet in a series that shows no sign of losing steam. Rutledge first looks into the disappearance of missionary Walter Teller, who suddenly fell ill in London and later apparently walked out of the clinic where he was being treated. Rutledge questions members of Teller's immediate family, including his brothers, Peter and Edwin. After the resolution of the case of the missing missionary, Rutledge investigates the bludgeoning death of Florence Teller, apparently the wife of another Peter Teller, in Lancashire. Once again Todd (the pseudonym of a mother-son writing team) perfectly balance incisive portraits of all the characters, not just the complex and original lead, with a tricky puzzle in which the killer is hidden in plain sight for the discerning reader to discover.
