When reclusive war poet Olivia Marlowe and her half-brother, Nicholas Cheney, die together in their ancestral home on the Cornish coast, it looks like suicide. The grieving relatives gather together to discuss the fate of Barcombe Hall, when another shocking death occurs. Inspector Rutledge, who is still shell-shocked from his experiences in the Great War, is sent from Scotland Yard to investigate. Rutledge is soon convinced that the answers to this baffling case lie within the family’s secret history.

What did you love best about Wings of Fire?

The people, side situations, and landscapes described are like visiting your great aunt in her small village. You are never touched by the environs, but are content to watch for hours.

Any additional comments?

If you are looking for excitement, keep looking. But, if you are looking for soporific narration and a straightforward plot that tolerates lengthy naps, you have it.

Comfortable whodunit

The story is good and I know that Audible changed narrators for this series for the later books. I wish the middle-of-the-series books were available and I refuse to listen to anything else that Mr. Gillies recorded so I will have to read the next few in this series until I can catch up to where the Audible recordings begin again.

Horrible narrator

The narrators voice was a bit jarring, which is just my opinion. He did a good job at distinguishing between the characters and the cadence of his voice was pleasant. It was there was just some jarring quality to it.

Excellent Story, looking forward to the book in the series

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Yes The story was good but I would probably recommend in book format.

What did you like best about this story?

Main character. He is honest and caring. Truth is his main goal.

What didn’t you like about Samuel Gillies’s performance?

Sometimes it was difficult to distinguish which character is speaking. I didn't care for the voices he gave to certain characters while others had the same voice. Certain section I had to repeat a couple of times.

Do you think Wings of Fire needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

No, the story seemed complete except you were not sure if the bad guy carried out his threat. Perhaps that will be in the next novel. I liked the story.

Okay reading

Character driven as the best British mysteries usually are, it still is a true mystery.
I thought at first I really didn’t care for this driven man, but boy did he win.

He draws you gently but firmly in!

the basis of the story is a bit far fetched, but Ian Rutledge's writing makes it work somehow.

not the best Ian Rutledge

I really enjoy the Ian Rutledge series. This book was complex and held my attention until the end. Narrator did an excellent job differentiating the voices.

Another excellent book

I mildly liked the first in the Rutlege series but since the author wrote with skill and the narrator was good, I decided to try book #2 which had a much better mystery. Because the first book laid a lot of groundwork on Rutledge, I was better prepared to accept and understand the Hamish situation. I figured out the bad guy, but with all the twists and turns, I doubted my choice and changed my mind only to find out I was correct (made the listen/red fun). I like that the story was tied up just enough for satisfaction but enough left unsaid for series to continue. Can't wait to read the next installment.

Even better than the first

This is a well written book!! I liked the progression of the main character and his growth in his struggle with the impact of the war.
Intriguing twist of events to bring out the true culprit of the murders!

Todd writes the tale of a detective, back from the First World War and struggling with his own demons. As a "Who Dun It", this book stands on its own. Without throwing out unnecessary Red Herrings, Todd keeps the question of the perpetrator (if there really is one) up in the air until very close to the end.

Even better, he paints a, presumably, accurate picture of rural English life between the wars. I've spent much time studying that period, but only as a historian. I, more or less, understand the economic forces that drove events. The personalities that dominated the country are part of my every day vocabulary. To read about the lives and attitudes of those who lived there and then, how they looked at those returning from the war, how they lived with a changing world and where they would look for leadership.

Both History and Mystery
