i prefer his ian rutledge series, the murder stone ending it a little bit farfetched.

Spellbinding!
This is a wonderful book, with lots of twists and turns, as you would expect from this author. I have read all of the Ian Rutledge stories and thought this stand alone story would not be as good, but it has surpassed all expectations! I could not put it down. I was happy with the ending as well. Highly recommended! I've read all this author's books, now what will I do?

not what I expected
I was dissapointed with this one, the ending does not bring the story to closure and the mystery does not draw you in as the Rutledge series

Mystery Lover Raves!
Charles Todd's best book! Even better than the Ian Rutledge series, and you don't have to listen to Hamish yelling!

Unputdownable
Although her parents were killed in a traffic accident when she was still a baby Francesca Hatton had a very happy childhood growing up in the River¿s End estate in the isolated Exe Valley in England. Her five male cousins also lost their parents at a very early age and grew up at River¿s End where Frances Hatton raised all six grandchildren as one big happy family.
That happiness dissipated as one by one the men were called up to fight for their country. During WWI by 1916, all five Hatton males of Francesca¿s generation were killed by the Germans in France. Francis is dying and Francesca nursed him during his last tormented days. It is only after his death does she learn that her grandfather had very many secrets including the fact that some prominent people think he is a murderer.
This is Charles Todd¿s first stand alone book and it is one of the best works of gothic suspense that this reviewer has read this year. As Francesca learns what her grandfather is hiding, strangers besiege her demanding something from her and threatening her when she fails to deliver. Some readers will not like the ending because it is not black and white but the questions left dangling add to the thrills that this book delivers. THE MURDER STONE is an unforgettable reading experience.
