Scotland Yard sends Inspector Ian Rutledge to the sea-battered village of Walmer on the coast of Essex, where amongst the salt flats and a military airfield lies Benton Abbey, a grand manor with a storied past. The lady of the house may prove his most bewildering witness yet. She claims she saw a violent murder—but there is no body, no blood. She also insists she recognized the killer: Captain Nelson.

"Council" instead of "counsel" is an all-to typical example. Have we no proofreaders, have we no literate people, in this country any more? There are other cases of paragraphing gone wrong, so much so that the sense is lost. To what or to whom do the pronouns refer? Were the paragraphing correct, there would be no doubt. Here these people are, drawing big salaries, putting out big-selling books. But their books are riddled with errors that would cause a sixth-grader to fail an English test, in normal times.

Ian Rutledge is such a fascinating detective. A victim of PTSD from WWI, he is 'accompanied' by his former Sargeant Hamish, who he was forced to shoot when the man refused orders and then was buried with when a bomb exploded. Hamish doesn't seem to hold a grudge; the two were friends, but Hamish couldn't obey the orders from a superior that were massacring their men.
The mystery takes a while to unfold, but each step is fascinating as the case builds. It's another good book in this historical mystery series. (
