The Black Ascot by Charles Todd

3.0

This was a solid historical mystery! While I felt like it was slightly meandering storyline, I ultimately really enjoyed the detective and the overall conclusion. There were so many little details scattered throughout the story, and the setting of post WWI hit all the right notes for me from a historical perspective. I felt the focus on mental health and the stigma that so many soldiers had to face was particularly poignant, and it serves to highlight how far as a society we have come and how far we still need to go.
