The Sketching Detective, by Jack McCormac, is a detective novel for the twenty-first century, full of surprises, wit, and intelligence. Jack McKay, a university professor, is going to put his unlikely detective skills to use once again after solving the case of the murdered showgirl-and almost ending his marriage. This time, the doubting police chief, Fat Joe, asks for Jack's help in uncovering the murderer of Sam Campbell, a grouchy, miserly neighbor of Jack's. Jack wants to refuse to help the police on this case because of the trouble working on the previous case caused him but his wife, the lovely and feisty Fiona, demands that Jack help the police, if for no other reason than to clear her brother, Bob, of the mounting suspicion against him. In an effort to win Fiona back, or at least get her to move back into their home, Jack puts all his efforts into solving Sam's murder and clearing Bob's name. Jack and Fiona's whole neighborhood tries to get in on to finding the murderer too, causing a number of mishaps, and even more surprises. After navigating the many twists and turns of the plot of the sketching detective and discovering the truth behind Sam's dark past, Jack uncovers, using his unlikely sketching ability and a fair share dumb luck and charm, the true identity of the murderer-and it could not be more surprising. Readers of all ages will delight in the wonderfully intelligent, devilishly, charming, and delightfully intriguing adventures of Jack McKay.

What's not to like? Golf, Scotland, murder - it's all good!
By Dick Merriwell
This murder mystery was written for those who like murders and and detective novels the way they were supposed to be written. Anyone who likes a novel that concentrates on the intellectual aspects of solving a perplexing crime, without gratuitous profanity or disgusting autopsy details, will love this book. This book would also be great for golfers and those who love Scotland. I await the next book in the series with anticipation!

The Sketching Detective draws a blank
By Wally Wood
Jack McCormac's sketching detective series has an interesting framework. The puzzle is based on working out the solution to logic problem like the following:
"A train is running between Detroit and Chicago with three businessmen on board: Smith, Jones, and Robinson. The train has three crewmen, a brakeman, a fireman, and an engineer. Their names are also Smith, Jones, and Robinson, but we don't know which one is which. From the following information, we would like to establish the engineer's name:
1. Mr. Robinson lives in Detroit.
2. The brakeman lives in a town called Midway, which is halfway between Detroit and Chicago.
3. Mr. Jones earns $80,000 per year. ....etc."
The book's narrator, 32-year-old Jack MacKay, shows how by sketching the facts given it is possible to learn the engineer's name. And apparently in an earlier book (this seems to be the fifth in the series), the narrator so impressed the town's chief of police, Fat Joe, with his analytical prowess that the chief calls on him regularly to help solve cases. Unfortunately that earlier book involved strippers and although Jack had been entirely innocent of hanky-panky, his feisty, red-headed wife Fiona has moved out of their home and is living with her brother.
The mystery involves a neighbor's death. Someone has bashed wealthy Sam Campbell's head in with a golf club, and Fat Joe needs help. In short order, MacKay and Fiona (who, however angry she is with MacKay, is willing to detect with him) have discovered that Sam was wealthy because he used his private detective business for blackmail and has not one but two secret rooms under his house, both if which they find but the police do not.
The Sketching Detective is set somewhere in the south and McCormac fills out the story with information about Scotland, golf, and MacKay's attempts to woo Fiona back into their house. Unfortunately, McCormac's dialogue is unconvincing needed editing. Here is a typical sample as it appears in the book:
"Fiona," I said, "perhaps I was wrong in letting Rhonda sit on my lap. But you must realize that sitting on the laps of as many male customers as possible and kissing them (I made up this last part.) is part of her job a Sakes Alive. Surely you wouldn't leave me just because this one girl sat on my lap at a night club, would you?"
Fiona would, and even though she is presented as a 29-year-old woman I found her immature and irritating. It made me wonder what MacKay saw in her, other than her red hair and enchanting freckles. As it turns out, despite MacKay's sketching and logic, he identifies the wrong person as the murderer. Fortunately Fat Joe, the police chief, does determine the right one—a person Fiona had identified. By the end of the book, the murders are solved (a second murder takes place so far offstage I missed on my first reading) and Fiona and MacKay are talking about children's names: Heather, Fiona, Mora, Angus, Sandy, Fergus.
