Summary
Much-loved Calleshire research chemist Derek Tridgell has been ill for some time. On his deathbed, his incessant but unintelligible mutterings culminate in a cry of murder.
Detective Inspector Sloan and Detective Constable Crosby are brought in to investigate whether these are just the ramblings of a man at death's door or a real confession at the final hour.
Their enquiries uncover three tragic deaths that may be linked to the deceased's last words: an accidental drowning at a rival chemist manufacturer, an old friend of Derek's killed in a caving expedition and his son walking away unscathed from a fatal car accident.
It’s a complex case for Sloan and Crosby.

Interesting story and thought provoking end
It is difficult to find clean crime fiction but this one is as clean as it gets, while also holding my interest. The pace of the book was bit on the slower side, so more suspense would have made it even better. I felt that for a large chunk of the story, not much progress was being made by the detectives.
The language was a bit unusual, there were many words I have never hear of and sentences were formulated in unusual manners. There were some bits of the detectives’ thoughts I could not understand because of this but it didn’t take away from the main parts of the story. The audiobook narrator (Gordon Griffin) was well suited for this book and gave a great performance, despite having to replay some bits a few times as I struggled making out what was being said. Overall I liked the book, thought it was an interesting read and thought the author was clever with the plot, so would definitely recommend.
