About this listen
Meet maverick British detective DI Skelgill... "mad, bad and just a little bit cozy."
WHEN A HIGH-FLYING ADMAN is stabbed to death on a company weekend in the English Lake District, local detective Daniel Skelgill finds himself wrenched from his rural Cumbrian comfort zone.
As the investigation unfolds, DI Skelgill is led a merry dance between London and Edinburgh, at every turn confronted by uncooperative suspects—colleagues, wife and lovers of the deceased—each of whom is possessed of motive and opportunity.
Is this a crime of passion, a professional hit, or a cleverly calculated killing borne out of greed and jealousy?
In this traditional-style whodunit, the case can only be solved by carefully piecing together the essential clues—but Skelgill is running out of time. The patience of his superiors wears thin, while the actions of an anonymous agent provocateur serve only to advance the moment when the killer must strike again.

Great British detective story set in the Lake District
Sound plot and well-defined characters. A visiting house-party of young advertising executives are set at loggerheads by a shocking murder in their midst. The killer may be being blackmailed, and DI Daniel Skelgill must catch them before they strike again. An intriguing backstory in which ‘lone wolf’ Skelgill meets his match in rookie cop DS Emma Jones.

Enjoyable murder mystery
I have read several of the newer DI Skelgill novels, which have original plots and vivid Lakeland settings. This - the first in the series - is an enjoyable introduction and explains how DS Emma Jones explodes into his hitherto comfortable existence. The narrator, in my view, captures Skelgill to a T (or should that be tea?).

The most boring and uninteresting story ever
The story is thin and uninteresting repetetive ! Not even my favourite narrator Jonathan Keeble could improve the experience! The writer should change profession!
