Praise for No Shred of Evidence "It's that melancholy tone, the legacy of the trenches, that gives Todd's polite rural mystery such uncommon depth."--Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review on NO SHRED OF EVIDENCE, Praise for The Shattered Tree "The Shattered Tree is an enjoyable and quick read-well worth the time."--New York Journal of Books, Praise for No Shred of Evidence: "It's that melancholy tone, the legacy of the trenches, that gives Todd's polite rural mystery such uncommon depth.", "The latest Crawford mystery is rich in character and period detail, with a solidly constructed story that should keep readers immersed in the action."--Booklist, Praise for the Ian Rutledge series "I love series that follow particular characters over time and through their experiences, so I automatically read the latest installments from ... Charles Todd."--Hillary Rodham Clinton, New York Times Book Review, The novel has a distinctly gothic feel to it: remote locale, harsh landscape, stormy weather, mysterious villagers--and the sense that something truly evil is hiding, perhaps in plain sight.

Synopsis
At the end of the Great War, Bess Crawford finds herself caught in deadly circumstances on a remote Welsh headland in this atmospheric mystery from the acclaimed New York Times bestselling author Though the Armistice has been signed and the guns silenced, the suffering has not ended. Many soldiers carry wounds that are still agonizingly raw and may never heal. Back in England but remaining in service, battlefield Nurse Bess Crawford has been assigned to a clinic for the severely injured-amputees, gas cases, and burns. Among these patients are Welsh soldiers who will return home to their valley utterly changed. No longer can they work at their old jobs mining coal. Though she does her best to raise their spirits, Bess knows the future will be difficult for them and their families when they are finally released. She fears that peace will do what war could not-take their lives. A few weeks after they return home, their officer, Captain Hugh Williams, writes to describe their despair, and his own at trying to save his men. Bess feels compelled to look into their situation, but the Army and the clinic can do nothing. When her reply comes back marked "return to sender," she decides to act. Due for ten days of leave, Bess quietly travels to that bleak coal-mining village in Wales. But she is too late. Captain Williams's sister tells Bess he has left the valley. Fearing that he intends to kill himself, she follows him to an isolated, storm-battered peninsula-a harsh and forgotten place where sinister secrets and death seem to go hand in hand. Deserted by her frightened driver in the middle of the night, Bess is stranded among strangers suspicious of outsiders. She quickly discovers these villagers are hiding something, and she's learned too much to be allowed to leave. What's more, no one in England-not the matron at the clinic, not her parents, not even her friend Simon Brandon-knows where she is. Why is there no Constable out here Why were two bodies that mysteriously washed ashore buried in unmarked graves without an inquiry or even a prayer And who is the mysterious neighbor who just arrived by motorcar, yet refuses to aid Bess Captain Williams and his brother's widow, Rachel, are her only allies, and Bess must take care not to put them at risk as she tries to find answers. But there is a murderer here who is driven to kill again and again. And the next person in his sights is Simon, searching for Bess and unaware of the danger ahead., Though the Great War has ended, Bess Crawford finds herself caught in deadly circumstances on a remote Welsh headland in this tenth entry from the acclaimed New York Times bestselling author. The fighting has ended, the Armistice signed, but the war has left wounds that are still agonizingly raw. Battlefield Nurse Bess Crawford has been assigned to a clinic for amputees, and the Welsh patients worry her. She does her best to help them, but it's clear that they have nothing to go home to, in a valley where only the fit can work in the coal pits. When they are released, she fears that peace will do what war couldn't--take their lives. Their officer, Captain Williams, writes to describe their despair, and his own at trying to save his men.
