Summary: absorbing and enjoyable mystery
Comment: In spite of his positive reputation, Jack Lilburne, Governor of Conyhall Youth Offenders' Institution dies in a car bomb. Detective Superintendent Gil Mayo and Inspector Abigail Moon begin to investigate the incident. They initially concentrate on prison inmates, past and present. However, when a second killing occurs, the law enforcement duo knows that they must widen their list of suspects.

Specifically, Gil and Abigail turn towards hospital worker Marc Daventry as the prime suspect. Marc seems obsessed with Lilburne's daughter Flora, who is recovering from the bomb blast that killed her father at the hospital where the orderly works. However, both Gil and Abigail realize that they need to uncover the killer very soon because a third victim is most likely.

A DEATH OF DISTINCTION, the eighth Mayo novel, is a well-written who-done-it that it's not quite as distinctive as normally expected for this usually high quality series. Though the story line moves forward at a reasonable pace, there is a dearth of reasonable suspects. Still, fans of the series and those who enjoy the British police procedural will like this novel.
