The weathered remains of Eleanor Gray are found on a Scottish mountainside, and her mother, the domineering Lady Maude Gray, requires delicate treatment. This is a case that will lead Inspector Ian Rutledge of Scotland Yard to Scotland, where his harrowing journey to find the truth will drag him back through the fires of his past into secrets that still have the power to kill.

As a matter of routine, or so it seems, the case passes across the desk of Detective Sergeant Smith, recently returned to work after an internal investigation into another case that has led to tensions between officers at Kings Lake police headquarters.

Narrated by Mike Vendetti, this is the original version of Hensel and Gretel published by the Brothers Grimm. Probably not suitable for the polite and sensitive child under 12. A really wicked stepmother convinces the children's father to lead the children out into the woods far enough so they wouldn't be able to return home, but they do return one time to the chagrin of the stepmother. The next time they are taken to the woods they are not able to return home but do stumble upon a little house constructed of cake and confectionery which they immediately begin to consume.

The Earl of Wrexford possesses a brilliant scientific mind, but boredom and pride lead him to reckless behavior. He does not suffer fools gladly. So when pompous, pious Reverend Josiah Holworthy publicly condemns him for debauchery, Wrexford unsheathes his rapier-sharp wit and strikes back. As their war of words escalates, London's most popular satirical cartoonist, A. J. Quill, skewers them both.

His name, they tell him, is William Monk, and he is a London police detective. But the accident that felled him has left him with only half a life; his memory and his entire past have vanished. As he tries to hide the truth, Monk returns to work and is assigned to investigate the brutal murder of a Crimean War hero and man about town. Which makes Monk’s efforts doubly difficult, since he’s forgotten his professional skills along with everything else.

Years before the Great War summoned Bess Crawford to serve as a battlefield nurse, the indomitable heroine spent her childhood in India under the watchful eye of her friend and confidant, the young soldier Simon Brandon. The two formed an inseparable bond on the dangerous Northwest Frontier where her father’s Regiment held the Khyber Pass against all intruders. It was Simon who taught Bess to ride and shoot, escorted her to the bazaars and the Maharani’s Palace, and did his best to keep her out of trouble.

He finds a world ruled by strict manners and social customs, where the inhabitants of the Ellison's neighborhood appear to be more outraged by the thought of scandal than they are by murder.

His name, they tell him, is William Monk, and he is a London police detective. But the accident that felled him has left him with only half a life; his memory and his entire past have vanished. As he tries to hide the truth, Monk returns to work and is assigned to investigate the brutal murder of a Crimean War hero and man about town. Which makes Monk’s efforts doubly difficult, since he’s forgotten his professional skills along with everything else.

Favorite of the series so far
I’ve been enjoying this series but at times have found a few of the mysteries hard to follow. What I like most about this book is the interplay and connection of the main characters. The plot was twisty but understandable.

A very complex mystery - excellent narrator
If you could sum up Legacy of the Dead in three words, what would they be?
That is impossible - even after listening to the book the second time I had a hard time putting it all together - not that it wasn't well plotted by the author, but it was quite complicated.
What did you like best about this story?
The narration is perfect for this very intriguing story - Mr. Gillies conveys the nuance of the dialogue effectively. He is a true expert!
Which character – as performed by Samuel Gillies – was your favorite?
Of course Ian Rutledge, and Hamish along with him. Rutledge is unstoppable as a police inspector in spite of his residual psychological damage from the war.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The complex confrontation at the end was intense and thrilling.
Any additional comments?
I am re-listening to the entire series and find the books do not lose any of their power the second time through. The author sets up the mystery so the reader is very anxious to know what the solution is, but I can never figure it out before I finish.

slow start but then it rolled
I enjoyed this Inspector Rutledge more than I thought I would after the first hour. Story unbelievable even for a mystery, but as usual Todd entertained

Inspector Rutledge and Hamish on Impossible Hunt
This one made my heart race and my blood boil. Inspector Rutledge is sent to Scotland to the small town of Duncarrick, to investigate a murder. And along for the ride is his companion, Corporal Hamish MacLeod, long dead in the Great War, but ever present in Rutledge's mind, speaking to him, haunting him and second guessing him. Little did Rutledge know, he and Hamish were headed to the village where Hamish had grown up and where he had proposed to and left behind, Fiona. Now accused of murdering Eleanor Gray, the daughter of Lady Maude Gray, Fiona is soon taken into custody. To Hamish and Rutledge's surprise, Fiona has a young son, named Ian, whom she had claimed was her own. However, soon it was proven that the boy was not her biological son, and this seemed to point even more to her guilt. The search for the truth was a difficult one, with Fiona, herself being unwilling to divulge the circumstances of the boy's birth. Yet, Rutledge (and Hamish) felt certain that Fiona was innocent. The entire town, who had previously accepted and loved Fiona, had now turned against her. Excellent tale of secrets, coverups and a tenacious copper who never stops until he gets to the truth.
