Michael Gilbert proves again he is a master of mystery.

The Killing of Katie Steelstock is one of Gilbert's best mystery novels. It is expertly plotted as always, with his usual collection of interesting, understandable, and completely formed characters, with a very surprising denoument. No one compares with him in writing a delightfully detailed mystery, with perfect police procedure, a dry wit and in The KIlling of Katie Steelstock an ending that even the most experienced mystery reader will find truly ingenious. Gilbert never tricks us, but gently pulls us in the wrong direction. As are his police characters sometimes. Thus we never feel cheated that he left out vital information (he doesn't), but admiration for a master of his craft. This book is a particulaly outstanding example of his work. Enjoy.
