Since I skipped last week's to bring you the alarming news of Squirrel Appreciation Day (mark your 2013 calendars now, folks!) I'm adding last week's three to this week's three for a humiliating total of six books in 14 days.
The clear winner is Charles Todd's A Lonely Death. Inspector Ian Rutledge is back with his WWI ghosts and his indefatigable sense of justice. The Inspector Rutledge novels are always more than the sum of their parts. The murder investigation is completely secondary to the interplay of the characters and the story of Ian himself as he struggles with his shell shock, survivor's guilt, love, death, and police politics.
I'm a big fan of this mother-son author team, as evidenced by how many times they have made the Friday Book Blog.
