Murder In School by Bruce BeckhamMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Not sure why it took so long to get through this second installment of DI Skelgill. Too much tramping through the moors and private school campus with no real clues as to what is going on. Also, the passages about fishing and Skelgill's methodology in seeking out the big ones and their locations seemed too long and convoluted. Much like the book itself--too many characters and too little clarity to the connections between them and the two murder victims. Felt like lots of wasted time and muddled thinking with the only real action taking place in the last 25 pages. What's the relationship between Skellgill and Jones, anyway?
Will move to the third book, only because I liked the first and hope this one is a fluke of circular, convoluted prose.
