“When you can’t undo the harm that’s been done, sometimes you bury it with the dead.”
Spirits, regrets and beasts all come in different forms in Wings of Fire (Inspector Ian Rutledge #2) and the reader is right at the side of Inspector Ian Rutledge as he walks straight into a gathering storm of secrets that begins with a suspicious collective tragedy of three different family members in the span of one month. As in the previous novel, we quickly become familiar with Rutledge’s special skill set of asking key questions to unlock doors to dark ivy covered tunnels of cleverly intertangled topics and his unrelenting tormented thoughts of what he experienced in the four years during the war. The descriptions of psychological features of pain and remorse are as dramatic and haunting as before along with its conjuring of the vivid flashbacks and country landscapes that make up this unforgettable storyline.
With all of these brilliant aspects to the writing, this series is impossible for me not to like; particularly Wings of Fire. By the final page I had to applaud this work and recommend it to others. Not only did I find the mystery engaging, I also found in the passages echoes of beloved gothic classics and the vintage themes were all very well done. It is certainly a rare treat to find such a noteworthy series and I look forward to traveling to the next cleverly fashioned exploration of mystery and history with this entertaining duo of writers.
