A Lethal Fixation

Four weeks after his body was found, the death of medical student Keith Mayhew is still puzzling detectives. Was he murdered or did he kill himself? The inquiries of Detective Inspector Richard Montgomery and his sergeant, William Bird, are complicated by a parcel bomb in the office of a senior lecturer in physiology. Then the gruesome killing of a second student shatters the whole community. With its intricate plot and vigorous characters, A LETHAL FIXATION, Stella Shepherd's fourth crime novel, is a real delight.
