Review: good story but not enough to be called a novella

I  enjoyed this story - it is the usual mix of darkness and character that I always expect with Charles Todd, but it predates his Ian Rutledge series by placing him back in WWI when his ghostly companion Hamish is still alive. My only complaint is that I expected the number of pages to be a novella - it wasn't, much of the bulk was taken up with a long promo for the latest Rutledge mystery (which I had already read and enjoyed.)  So it's a good short story, but hardly a novella.
