A Test of Wills is the first mystery in the Inspector Ian Rutledge series. Set in England immediately after WWI, Inspector Rutledge has returned from the war with a severe case of shell shock. These books are well written, giving a realistic feel to the characters and the period in which they are set. I feel I should confess I have only read the first six books in this series, but that was in large part due to the fact that every mystery I picked up in a 2 year period seemed to be set immediately prior to, during, or just after World War I, and I was getting tired of reading about war, and that war in particular.
