The Kidnapping: An Ian Rutledge Original Short Story with Bonus Content by Charles Todd

" This short story concerns a man who reports to Inspector Rutledge that his daughter was kidnapped outside their home as they returned from a dinner engagement. With one clue uncovered in the investigation Rutledge sets about apprehending the culprits. Indeed, this was quite short, but very entertaining for all that. It has the deft Charles Todd touch which these authors normally give Rutledge for picking up on clues. Hamish does not make an appearance in this story....." " Great story to fill the gaps between releases of the full-length novels. As always Charles Todd has done a great job with the characters and left me wanting more. And also as always, I can't wait for the release of the next novel in this series....."

'A lonely death'라는 작품의 일부와 아주 짧은 단편으로 구성된 작품이다. 단편이라 그런지 진도가 빠르고 몰입도가 높은 작품이다. 기존의 작품들은 이야기가 길어지는 경향이 많아서 지루한 부분들이 많은데 이 작품은 느슨한 부분이 없다. 주인공의 매력이 잘 보이는 작품이다.
