Gus Keane #4
Making a Killing
A private detective’s investigation into an affair hots up when the suspect is murdered
When a fight breaks out at a Boxing Day fancy dress party, attendee Gus Keane puts the fracas down to festive exuberance and too much booze, and thinks little more of the matter.
However, when Jerry Duckworth, one of combatants, later gets in touch and asks Keane for his services as a private investigator, it is soon apparent there was more to it.
Duckworth suspects financial advisor Adam Jennings is having an affair with his wife. Keane is tasked with following him, and finding evidence of his infidelity. But Jennings has a whole lot more to hide than an amorous liaison.
Unfortunately, the investigation into Jennings leads to complications. Not least when he is found murdered in his home.
Gus Keane must get to the bottom of a case involving infidelity, shady business deals, and a man who is leading a double life.

This is a well written story that follows the fortunes of Gus Keane - a retired social worker. It's the second of these that I have read, and enjoyed them both a lot. The author has got the pace and development of the plot just right - it keeps you interested and there are no flat spots in the story. It's twisty enough to keep the reader guessing too.
Highly recommended.

Keane to solve the mystery
First Gus Keane adventure I have read, was OK but not edge of the seat stuff. Gus is a PI and is asked to look for a missing husband. What follows is the discovery of a man living a double life, along with the missing husband becoming a key clue in the crime. Enjoyable but not one to challenge the great criminal thriller writers.

Double the trouble for Gus Keane PI in this fourth book in the series. Quite a time coming this book, but it will appeal to readers looking for an easy going read, with an interesting puzzle to solve.
