A Cold Treachery (Inspector Ian Rutledge, #7)
by Charles Todd (Goodreads Author)
by Charles Todd (Goodreads Author)
I've read quite a few in this series featuring Inspector Rutledge of Scotland Yard and although the format is similar in every case, and they can therefore be a bit predictable, I find I enjoy the plots and the background of the post-WW1 period in Britain with the many returned soldiers who are physically or psychologically maimed. This one set in the unforgiving winter landscape of the British Lake District so lots of striding about snow covered fells and cold houses.

What is a fell? A moor, a heath?

The Lake district is on the west side of the country whereas Newcastle is on the east. My husband's family came from Lancashire and we began our married life together in the Liverpool area.
On my first attempt to see York, my husband was at a conference in Manchester and the kids and I spent the night with friends in Leeds intending to drive on to York the next morning. Imagine our shock when we woke to find that the Minster was burning and people were being asked to stay away. Several years later, my sister and I went by train and spent a very enjoyable day there. It is a lovely city.
