Review: A Classic Whodunit?
Rating: 5 out of 5

This is a well written crime novel - a classic whodunit?  Detective Sergeant Nicholas Drumm is quirky and not without personal problems.  But he has to put those problems aside and deal with the untimely death of a teacher - a case where there are no clues, no forensic evidence and a myriad of suspects.  But Drumm refuses to let the case go and resorts to psychological pressure to bring the killer out into the open.  This is an excellent first novel and David draws on his years of experience to put you in the minds of his wholly believable characters.  The plot is well thought out and all the different strands brought to a satisfactory conclusion. I very much look forward to reading the second book `A Striking Death' when it is published and following the adventures of Drumm and his team.
