Without a trace

[pbray]

Their best conclusion is that Gareth Williams managed to padlock himself inside a duffle bag that was placed in a bathtub, without leaving a single handprint on the bathtub, or any traces of DNA on padlock, both of which have been described elsewhere as wiped clean. Wow. I thought David Copperfield had mad skills.

Perfect crime and MI6 agent not killed.

I'd never get away with this in a book.

I see my Sherlock Holmes-type character announcing "Ah ha! Only I know this is a fiendish murder, not mere accident. And I will prove it!"

And every reader yawns and thinks "Um, no, we knew that already, we're just waiting for someone in this book to buy a freaking clue."
