About this listen

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.

loved the intricate plot and the atmospheric references to the Lake District. Even enjoyed the detailed descriptions of fishing techniques as someone who knows nothing about the subject.

The excellent narration by Jonathan Keeble
