DBT 0307: Charles Todd – The Black Ascot (An Inspector Ian Rutledge Mystery)
It is always a pleasure to talk to Charles and Caroline Todd, the mother / son writing duo behind the Ian Rutledge mystery series.
This is book number 21 in the series, and it is hard to believe there have been that many. Every book I have read in this series has been great. Quite an accomplishment considering a lot of authors seem to have that one book that does not work.
And why hasn’t there been any tv or movie series about this great character who is shell shocked from the war?
Hear them talk about this book and some of the behind the scenes things that happen while writing the books. It is hard work, and there are times that are very trying, but they both seem so content and sure of themselves. are they really? Let them tell you themselves.
I really enjoyed this book, the first time Rutledge has tackled a cold case, and they can be very tricky. And these two tackle two book series a year, double to fun and work. And they both have plenty to say, sometimes at the same time, I love it. And trying to get a question in can be very daunting.
Enjoy this wonderful interview. I wish I had them in the same room together to interview, but they live in separate states. Always great to hear them again.. and about that next book? Let them tell you.
