My cousin recommended this book(and series) to me, and it took me a while to get my hands on volume one. It's a murder mystery series, where the main character suffers from what's now called PTSD. It's set in post-WWI England, and the main character is a Scotland Yard inspector, who before the war, was one of their better homicide detectives. He's been treated, and released medically, and given his job back, but has a supervisor who is aware of his condition, and doesn't like him. He's shunted off to this case, outside of London, where one war hero may have murdered another. It's a very politically sensitive case, where even the palace is interested in the results, and the supervisor hopes that Inspector Rutledge screws it up, so he can be fired. This is very well-written, with what appears to be an excellent grasp of the England of that [XBR] time. I'm hooked, and lining up a copy of book two, as we speak.

A very simplistic book by Danielle Steel. Unfortunately. Not the story that's likely to happen in real life to a young girl with the amazing voice in circumstances that she grows in and in the environment she is surrounded by while traveling with different cheap bands...It's hard to believe she remains as naive and innocent as the novel claims, after so many years of such uprooted life, without family support or love...

/great first novel - delightful read
