Worth the Wait
Revisado: 09-16-23
After reading the audiobook of the first book of Bruce Beckham's DI Skelgill series (of which I have been a long-time fan), I was a little impatient waiting for the second audiobook, "Murder in School". But it was worth the wait. In the meantime, I have become an enthusiastic listener of audiobooks. I love the genre now, because I can listen while walking my dog, doing housework, driving in my car, or just resting. What a great way to "read" a book!. I love Beckham's second book in the series, and Jonathan Keeble more than does it justice. I think that I like this audiobook even more than the first one in the series. He captures the endearing character of DS Leyton perfectly, and he has settled into the voice of Skelgill himself as though he "knows" the character. Keeble brought the book to life for me, a book that I know well, and made it new and fresh. I'll be waiting even more impatiently for the third book and hope that it isn't long in coming.

When a high-flying adman is stabbed to death on a company weekend in the English Lake District, local detective Daniel Skelgill finds himself wrenched from his rural Cumbrian comfort zone. As the investigation unfolds, DI Skelgill is led a merry dance between London and Edinburgh, at every turn confronted by uncooperative suspects—colleagues, wife and lovers of the deceased—each of whom is possessed of motive and opportunity. Is this a crime of passion, a professional hit, or a cleverly calculated killing borne out of greed and jealousy?

Gratified and Delighted Skelgill Fan

As a long-time and devoted fan of Bruce Beckham’s Inspector Daniel Skelgill series, I was intrigued to see the first book in the series available on audible.com. The audiobook is a new experience for me and I was a little wary of how my favorite mystery series would translate into the spoken word. I was very quickly made a convert by Jonathan Keeble’s excellent, expressive narration. Rather than the written text sparking my imagination, Keeble’s voice was the spark and through his varied accents and intonations, my imagination was able to picture each character and scene vividly. Beckham’s always excellent writing, filled with drama, humor, great characters and an appreciation of the beauty of the English Lake District, is as delightful when listened to as it is when read. My great hope now is that this audiobook is followed soon by others in the series. It will be a different and very satisfying way to revisit this appealing series of books.
