Good books about civilian investigators are as rare as hen's teeth, but Bookbag can recommend an old novel that's recently been re-issued - [[The Coroner's Pidgin]] by Margery Allingham. If you're interested in the use of psychics in the course of police investigations you might like to try [[Dead Simple]] by Peter James, but it isn't a patch on this book despite having done rather well in the best-seller lists. For another good story set in a school and written by a teacher, you might like to try [[Where the Truth Lies]] by Rosemary Ingham.
