Charles Todd’s standalone work includes The Murder Stone (2003), a mystery novel separate from the Ian Rutledge and Bess Crawford series. The book is set in the familiar post-World War I period but follows an independent set of characters and a self-contained plot.
The Murder Stone gives readers a taste of the Charles Todd style without requiring any knowledge of their ongoing series. It reflects the same attention to historical detail and psychological complexity that defines their other work.
