By	R. Chiang "mrarchiegoodwin" (San Francisco, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Nice Knight for Murder (Paperback)

In a quiet village outside London a semi-retired official has been found dead in his study. The grand old man was highly influential and nearly PM once. This was going to be important and sad news for the entire nation.

Behind the scenes unfolds a series of clandestine activities. The shrewd examining physician consults the proper authorities upon discovering poison. The sage detective chief superintendent stuffs his pipe and is relieved the case will be handled by a special branch. The beautiful daughter of the deceased, suffering from a ruinous yet glamorous failed marriage, is upset by the heavy hand of officialdom. Officialdom's own investigator, a handsome young scholar-jock named for a famous cricketeer, manages to console the offspring and solve the mystery.

The story is about as lackluster and predictable as the preceding description. This 1986 tale could have been cribbed from a much earlier time except pre-Bond characters might have displayed more depth and settings might have been more picaresque. Or the story could have been done for laughs. Boring as a book Nice Knight for Murder might have been entertaining if presented as an episode on the BBC.
