Detective Inspector Tom Tyler

review 1: I discovered the author when I watched the series Murdoch Mysteries on Netflix and found that she had been the writer who had inspired it. Perhaps for better or worse there's slightly less detail of the country and the times than in corresponding Ian Rutledge titles by Charles Todd. The ending might be less of a surprise solution than you might expect, but even when you knew it had to be, sympathy is the emotion anyone will feel as the last bit of answer is revealed. Tom Tyler (certainly well-suited to Thomas Craig) is a strong character that I think will last for a series.
review 2: I've been wanting to read this book for awhile as it deals in the historical time period I am most interested in: the second world war especially in England. The setting is a quiet... more village in Shropshire where an internment camp is located isolating possible enemy aliens (German Jews and others) who might prove traitorous to the war effort. (Almost like the ridiculous internment of American Asians at the same time in the US) The detective, Tom Tyler, is an unhappily married man who meets up with his old flame who left him for a rich Swiss years ago and now turns up as an intepretor at the camp. A series of brutal murders of young land girls brings them together and a tragic ending forces them apart. Well written with interesting multi-layered characters, I was not disappointed. less
