Title: “Who Killed Callaway?”
Author: John Rhodes
Published: August 2007
Publisher: iUniverse

Summary:

Imagine an aristocratic society willing to flummox a murder investigation in
order to hide its own dirty secrets. So it is in Who Killed Callaway? where
compelling characters from patrician backgrounds would rather protect their
questionable pasts than see justice done. In the same vein as Agatha Christie,
PD James, and Dorothy L. Sayers, novelist John Rhodes aligns a 1920’s British
mystery setting into a page-turning whodunit.

In his search for the murderer of a young man at a private boarding school,
Detective Chief Inspector Thomas Ford of Scotland Yard faces his own demons by
returning to the school he’d once attended. The school’s authorities, in their
zeal to maintain Kings School’s esteemed reputation, provide conflicting
stories while the clues they offer may be nothing more than red herrings—even
after a second murder occurs. However, by the climactic conclusion, in true,
delicious British detective style, Ford gathers the suspects in a country manor
in order to unmask both the posh society’s secrets, as well as the murderer.

Given the prestigious iUniverse Editor’s Choice Publishers Choice and Readers
Choice award, Rhodes, who attended a school in England, examines the privileges
of the wealthy while transporting readers to a time when the world was
recovering from the ravishes of World War I. In Who Killed Callaway?—and
why—Detective Thomas Ford not only reveals the murderer but also exposes the
sins of the aristocracy. Rhodes does the genre proud and readers will want to
see Detective Ford solving more mysteries to come.
