Editorial reviews

The sixth installment of Graham Ison's Brock and Poole Mystery series finds the two detectives investigating the murder of jazz drummer Rod Skinner, who was gunned down at a popular, crowded nightclub. With so many witnesses - and suspects - present at the time of the shooting, Brock and Poole find themselves in the middle of a true head-scratcher that unveils a seemingly endless amount of lurid details that only muddle the case even further. Drumfire is an entertaining corker that is given a lightness of touch by Damian Lynch, who imbues the rollicking plot with a wonderfully sly wit.

Good read!

sly-humor, London, procedural, law-enforcement, murder, murder-investigation, armed-robbery, felons****

It all started with a new part-time drummer with a local band getting shot by a masked man in the middle of a set in a crowded upscale venue. Then it turned into an old case with a stoolie who turned in evidence against his cronies. AND THEN there's the attempted heist of bullion from a bank, and more.
Very enjoyable.
Narration by Damian Lynch was very Jack Webb/Joe Friday, and that's a good thing!
