…ill met by moonlight!

A Game of Fear (Inspector Ian Rutledge #24) by Charles Todd        

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

1921, another nail biting mystery with Inspector Ian Rutledge working on a murder given to him by Chief Superintendent Markham rather as a taunt. Rutledge’s working relationship with Scotland Yard is not an envious one. His thoughts about his colleagues’ actions when told he was off to investigate the sighting of a killer ghost had him acknowledging that too often “humor has a malicious twist to it.” Lady Benton has seen a murder being committed by someone from her moonlit window. Come daylight no body/s we’re found. Someone with influence wants her fears laid to rest.

So up to Essex Ian is sent and of course there’s so much more to this occurrence than meets the eye. Ian becomes involved in searching for a murderer who’s a phantom.

As things start to become clearer the chase becomes just that more dangerous.

Thrilling shifts, moves and counter moves, as Ian plays a game of deadly chess with a cold blooded killer.
