Publisher's summary

Meet maverick British detective DI Skelgill... "mad, bad and just a little bit cozy."

WHEN A LONG-SERVING MASTER at one of England's most prestigious public schools drowns in Bassenthwaite Lake, Detective Inspector Skelgill is summoned to investigate his apparent suicide.

It soon becomes clear that senior members of staff are not all that they seem. As the school closes ranks, Skelgill realiszs he is pitted against a sinister power struggle for control of its highly lucrative operation.

A second violent death threatens to throw the police off the scent, and the sudden mysterious disappearance of a VIP pupil sows panic in their ranks. In a race against time Skelgill is faced by the unthinkable consequences of a third tragedy on his watch.

Worth the Wait

After reading the audiobook of the first book of Bruce Beckham's DI Skelgill series (of which I have been a long-time fan), I was a little impatient waiting for the second audiobook, "Murder in School". But it was worth the wait. In the meantime, I have become an enthusiastic listener of audiobooks. I love the genre now, because I can listen while walking my dog, doing housework, driving in my car, or just resting. What a great way to "read" a book!. I love Beckham's second book in the series, and Jonathan Keeble more than does it justice. I think that I like this audiobook even more than the first one in the series. He captures the endearing character of DS Leyton perfectly, and he has settled into the voice of Skelgill himself as though he "knows" the character. Keeble brought the book to life for me, a book that I know well, and made it new and fresh. I'll be waiting even more impatiently for the third book and hope that it isn't long in coming.
