Review: Murder In School

Murder In School by Bruce Beckham
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received this book for free through GoodReads FirstReads competitions.

I hadn't read any of the Inspector Skelgill Investigations but after reading this one (the second one in the series) I will definitely be reading more of this series.I thought that it was expertly written by a clearly very talented author. In this book he is investigating a suspicious drowning that occurs in the local Bassenthwaite Lake.
This novel is full of all the essentials that are needed for a great mystery novel, the characters are very well described so that while you are reading the novel you can picture them in your mind and try to figure out who the culprit is. The style of writing in this book is slightly different from any other murder mystery book that I have read as this one doesn't have flashbacks it is all in chronological order. This does make the novel easier to read as it flows very nicely.
This book is one that is very hard to put down as you can't wait to find out who did it, the ending of this book kept up to the excellence of the rest of the novel. If you like murder mystery books then this one will definitely be one that you will enjoy. I have found myself a new author and I cannot wait to read more books by this author!
