I must be confused. I always read the Ian Rutledge mysteries however, the last one I read (my library had posted it as a new Ian Rutledge) seemed to me to be a duplicate of one of his earlier books. And at the end, there was a notice that this would be his last book, due to loss of his mother, his sister and his dogs. Is any of this accurate? I worked in the library for several years and kept up on new books.

Dear Sue:
Thank you for all you do with the Library! Libraries have always had a sepcial meaning to both Caroline and me.
Where you read that the Rutledge Series was ending is wrong. I have completed the manuscript for Rutledge #25 and as soon as the estate is closed It will go for publication.
The latest book in the Rutledge series is #24 and it was titled A Game of Fear. It was the only book of that title and plot. It was released in the fall of 2021. I did not eexpect the estate to take this long to be finalized. You can imagine my frustration and the number of questions I receive about the series. Thanks to you and everyone else I am getting the word out. I am hard at work now in the Bess Crawford Series Mystery #14 that will be coming soon as well. The series order are on the website www.charlestodd.com
Sadly, legal matters move slowly! Stay Tuned!
All the Best,
Charles

I just finished Cliff's Edge, and I enjoyed it very much. Following Bess after the war is different than all the previous war stories. It is somewhat obvious from the ending that you already have thought about the next book since you have hinted at a continuation of the Bess and Simon saga. The Cliff's Edge is a cliffhanger. How come Ian didn't come from the Yard to save the family?
