“You can’t save the world from itself. If people are intent on destroying themselves, they will. And sometimes they don’t care if they bring others down with them. That’s selfish but it’s human nature.”

Charles Todd, A Fearsome Doubt
Emma Claire Walsh
“Ian Rutledge is one of my new favourite fictional detective series. I’m learning a lot about the the First World War, how Scotland Yard got started and more. It isn’t just the historical setting, of course, the mysteries are great too.”
