I like the narrator and the story was interesting I also like the main characters. The only trouble with this story was that it didn't end satisfactorily. There wasn't a full explanation of everything and I was left puzzled

abrupt ending

Another good read by Charles Todd, an interesting plot with a twist at the end. I also think Simon Prebble is excellent as the reader.

Worth a read !!

When he starts this investigation Rutledge is looking into a hit and case, but it slowly grows into a more complex case when the body may be a prominent wine shipper.

This is another complex case that Rutledge untangles as the body count rises before all is made clear.

The narrator is very good at giving the right tone for the story.

Charles Todd is a good writer but I did drift slightly in the middle when the story seemed to be padded out a little too much. Simon Prebble is ok but there was little definition between characters and he did insist on pronouncing perhaps as prahaps - a word that seemed to pop up surprisingly frequently. A relief to find that Hamish features a little less

Good story and lots of ‘whodunnit’ options
