WhoDunnits: A Mystery Book Group

Join us to discuss A Test of Wills by Charles Todd.

Set in the aftermath of World War I, this atmospheric and compelling mystery series stars Ian Rutledge, a veteran attempting to return to his pre-war life as an Inspector with Scotland Yard. Inspector Rutledge wants nothing more than to put the war behind him, but his shell-shock and the unusual cases he investigates repeatedly stand in the way. In A Test of Wills, the first entry in the series, a society wedding in Cambridgeshire becomes a crime scene when a man is murdered. After another body is found, the baffled local constabulary turns to Scotland Yard. Despite his experience, Inspector Ian Rutledge has few answers of his own. Nothing logical seems to connect the victims, except the killer. As the investigation widens, a clear suspect emerges. But for Rutledge, the facts still don’t add up, leaving him to question his own judgment.
