Blaine DeSantis's Reviews > The Locked Room

Really enjoyable book. Never read any by this author before this one was recommended to me. Have the locked room dilemma and how could someone allegedly commit suicide when there was no gun or shell cartridge found in the room. Detective Martin Beck plays a very small part in this book since he must have been shot in Book 7 of the series. But there is a lot of comedy in this book not sure if it is intentional as the rest of the National Police Force reminds me of the Keystone Cops. Interesting way that Beck discovers how the deceased was murdered, but we have one person jailed for life for a murder they did not commit. That same person being acquitted of the murder they did commit. Bank robbers who get away with the money, etc. Not sure if this is the authors M.O. but it makes for an interesting and different read. Definitely would recommend this book!
