Lancashire, England, June, 1920. Who was the woman who lived and died behind the red door? What did she see before she died? And who was the man who never came home from the Great War, for the simple reason that he had never really gone? How is the woman's death linked to his disappearance? And why is Scotland Yard blind to the connection, even when Inspector Ian Rutledge points it out?

      What terrified missionary Walter Teller so much that it first paralyzed him, then caused him to run away from his family? How will Inspector Ian Rutledge and Hamish (his invisible sidekick) solve the mystery of the disappearance of Walter Teller and the subsequent murder of Florence Teller? Simon Prebble puts his considerable talents to work with a variety of accents from the length and breadth of the British Isles. While Rutledge pokes and prods at the dark secrets of Teller's extended family, Prebble shifts accent and intonation to mimic the background of each character. Slowly and confidently, the detective tugs at the web of deceit that began many years before WWI, unraveling it in bits and pieces. Prebble's gruff tones bring forth tales of the war that echo throughout this mystery and the Teller family itself. M.B.K. (c) AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine

      Starred review from December 7, 2009
      Set in 1920, bestseller Todd's 12th mystery to feature the shell-shocked WWI veteran and Scotland Yard inspector Ian Rutledge (after 2008's A Matter of Justice
      ) is one of the strongest entries yet in a series that shows no sign of losing steam. Rutledge first looks into the disappearance of missionary Walter Teller, who suddenly fell ill in London and later apparently walked out of the clinic where he was being treated. Rutledge questions members of Teller's immediate family, including his brothers, Peter and Edwin. After the resolution of the case of the missing missionary, Rutledge investigates the bludgeoning death of Florence Teller, apparently the wife of another Peter Teller, in Lancashire. Once again Todd (the pseudonym of a mother-son writing team) perfectly balance incisive portraits of all the characters, not just the complex and original lead, with a tricky puzzle in which the killer is hidden in plain sight for the discerning reader to discover.
