Introduction
“It is clear that the Hutton Inquiry was an in adequate substitute for a coroner's inquest into Dr Kelly's death. It raised more questions than it answered. This book sets out to examine those questions, which have never been dealt with satisfactorily.”

Reception
The Lobster wrote that "Goslett confines himself to the demand for an inquest, and his fine book eloquently spells out why all of us , including Dr Kelly's family, friends and colleagues, deserve one." Richard Ingrams noted that "Everyone, from Tony Blair downwards, was insistent that Dr David Kelly had committed suicide yet the evidence, which Goslett examines in scrupulous detail in this gripping narrative suggests otherwise."
