Donna asked Charles Todd:

Hello, I just received my copy of A Christmas Witness and I am so looking forward to reading it!! The Ian Rutledge mysteries were one of my mom's and my favorite English mystery series and enjoyed sharing the books. Unfortunately, my mom passed away last year, so I won't be able to discuss it with her. But it really brings back fond memories of our discussions of Ian and our hopes that there will be more?

Charles Todd Dear Donna:

Sadly Caroline passed in 2021. It has taken this long to settle the estate. Martch 10, 2026 A Day of Judgement (A IRutledge Myatery Novel) will be released and is available for pre order now. I just turned in the manuscript for the next Bess Crawford mystery novel on August 1, 2025 aqnd it will come out after A Day of Judgement. I am currently half way through writing the next Rutledge Mystery Novel. Althoug it was difficult writing with out Caroline (My Mother) it has been cathardic as well. I hope you enjoy these books. Stau tuned!

All the Best,
Chalres
