For Charles Todd: I've read the first Insp. Rutledge as well as the first Bess Crawford and I noticed that both books dealt heavily with the psychological traumas, what we'd probably today identify as PTSD. Is that a theme through all the books? If so, I'd be interested in what prompted you to focus on that aspect from the War.
Ask Rhys Bowen, Deborah Crombie, and Charles Todd!
