From School Library Journal
Adult/High School-The Scotland Yard Inspector and World War I veteran's fifth outing will please current fans and capture new ones. In the fall of 1919, Rutledge has to solve two village murders. He discovers that they are connected by a deathbed confession and one of the world's greatest disasters: the sinking of the Titanic. As always, the specter of Corporal Hamish MacLeod haunts the shell-shocked inspector, and readers, in his role as ghostly sidekick. Todd deftly captures the dark atmosphere of despair and fragile hopes of post-World War I England, where no one has been untouched by the devastation. Teens will be intrigued by the combination of ghosts, the Titanic, battlefield flashbacks, and a traditional whodunit in which every character is suspect, and there are no easy solutions.

The cliffhanger ending of Todd's Legacy of the Dead (LJ 8/00) left Inspector Ian Rutledge on the brink of death. In this follow-up, Rutledge is recovering from his gunshot wound while trying to investigate the murder of a parish priest in the small town of Osterley. Rutledge is skeptical that Father James's death is a simple case of robbery gone wrong. Was he murdered because of something he knew or had seen? Rutledge's inquiries are hampered both by the local authorities and by townsfolk unwilling to talk. With the ever-present voice of Hamish, a dead Scottish soldier, in his head, Rutledge must set aside his own problems to find out the truth. A gifted writer, Todd has once again created an intriguing mystery peopled with memorably unique characters. The depth of emotion that he expresses is truly remarkable. Highly recommended for all libraries.
