Murder in Adland

Detective Inspector Skelgill Investigates, Book 1

De: Bruce Beckham

Narrado por: Jonathan Keeble

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 audio book!!

I’m looking forward to the next book!!
This one was a total 5 star!!
The narrator gives a perfect

Love it

I love British humor. This author and narrator are so good, but it takes me a bit to catch the dry humor. Then I enjoy it that much more. Excellent!

Can't wait for the next installment

Great story with the added humor was a bonus and always the narration was outstanding.

Surprisingly Good!!

I say surprisingly because I try a lot of British mysteries and am often not a fan. But I think this one was amusing and held my interest throughout the whole book. The writing was good, rather humorous, and the reader was great. It's extremely disappointing that most of the books by this author are read by a virtual voice-

Not much sleuthing

Too padded with fishing and cricket and other extraneous details that did not add to plot or character development
