Eighth book in the Inspector Ian Rutledge series begins with the murder of a family of five, with a sixth member missing. Rutledge is called in to investigate because he has just finished another investigation in northern England. This is a small town in a desolate area, and it doesn't seem possible that any of the townspeople could have a motive, so the inspector tries first to find the missing boy. The fact that this took place after WWI adds an element of mystery. Rutledge says "he had never dealt with a case where so many people were intent on misdirecting the enquiry." Well worth reading.
