Wings of Fire (Inspector Ian Rutledge, #2)

Wings of Fire by Charles Todd
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A rather bizarre tale. When a poet and her half brother commit suicide Inspector Rutledge is sent to investigate at a cousins request. He finds a documented trail of murders inside her poetry and the evidence secreted in the old manor, they call home.

Rutledge spends his time looking for the corpse of her young brother who went missing on the moors and trying to unlock the memories of the townspeople who know the identity of the murderer.

I find it bizarre that instead of going to the authorities with her evidence she merely wrote about it in her poetry, and that rather then see the murder hang she committed suicide and took her half-brother with her.
