Query: So close but no cigar

After enjoying a couple of Todd's Inspector Rutledge books I was quite looking forward to the potential this book offered but felt hugely let down instead. Whilst the book seems to answer the questions and mysteries that arise in this story, it really doesn't feel like it. I had to go back a couple of times to the ending to make sure I hadn't missed something. I think Todd missed a huge opportunity for a real potboiler of a murder mystery here and just ran out of ideas or lost interest in his own story at the end.
