River of Darkness by Rennie Airth

3.0

I went on a crazy mystery-reading binge this past weekend and this is only one I really remember, so I am giving it three stars. Taking place in England right after World War I, this follows the requisite damaged yet brilliant detective who is tracking down a deranged ex-soldier on a killing spree in the English countryside. This is not a spoiler, since it is pretty upfront about who the killer is, but it is still incredibly suspenseful and made me nervous on at least three occasions.
