Review: British mystery at its best

This is the second book in the Trevor Joseph series that I have read, and it lived up to the quality of the first one I read (Midnight Murders). I am so impressed with Katherine John's style of writing that I am determined to read the remaining books in the Trevor Joseph series.The plot was compelling, and when the murderer was revealed, it took me by surprised, as the characterisation and motivation were developed so subtly and skilfully. Trevor is not your usual British detective, and it is refreshing to find one who is not the usual stubborn maverick. The striking contrast between Trevor and his detective partner, Peter, provides an interesting working relationship.This book has a wonderful balance of well developed, interesting characters, a compelling plot with lots of twists and turns and a medical setting that was most convincing. I loved it.
