I really wanted to like The Gatekeeper by Charles Todd. My father highly recommends the Ian Rutledge series. But I couldn’t even make it past the first chapter. A body is found on a lonely road. Great! Except somehow it still felt dull. The pacing was slooooow, and I found myself zoning out mid-sentence. Historical mysteries can be hit or miss for me, and this one just didn’t hit. I’m sure Rutledge is lovely, but I won’t be joining him on any more foggy road trips. Another DNF. Moving on!
