His suffering from stroke is what led him to changing his managerial career to the writing profession. He got educated at Hereford Cathedral School and at St John’s College, Oxford where he studied contemporary history. His dad was a well-known columnist on the Western mail. Their household treasured the English prose and narrating of stories. David started narrating while he was seven years old. During that moment he was schooling at Oldcastle school. The Second World War destructed his college studies since he spent three years as a Royal Navy official. He started his advertising occupation as a medical journalist and ended up becoming a famous columnist of his own company. He became very popular since he also used to be a correspondent in the television and radio programs. Even though the reporting career was often criticized by the society at that time, he did not give up as he believed that it contributed to the society’s financial system.

His first’s books were published in 1976 during which he started suffering from stroke. The books were mainly centered on crime fiction and humor. His narratives received quite a number of applauses from the readers. They also featured his spouse who was an actress, the Phipps commercial bankers and the comic Mark Treasure. Most of his crime titles included the name treasure. He published other books in 1994 in which they presented Sergeant Gomer Lloyd and Inspector Merlin Parry. In 1988 William was appointed to the Detection Union which made him more popular due to his enchanting and tracking skills. Some of his manuscripts were nominated for the Crime Writers’ Association Award.

His faith mattered to him most even after leaving the St.John and he had even thought of being a clergyman. David was a steward of the Guild church and had confessed that guarding the ancient minster and cathedrals were one of things he treasured in his heart.

William was not let down by calamities. In fact he used them as a tool to be strong by overcoming difficulties no matter how tough it seemed to be. He was known to be an orderly and neat person of and it was evidently displayed by the way he dressed, his cooperation’s trademark and through the storyplotting.

One of the earliest books he wrote is the Treasure in Oxford which is a crime fiction. It narrates about a summer season in Oxford when the rulers of a library meet at a certain college for a feast.

They talk about a dealer who is known for trading books and has found out three portraits of John Constable which are not renowned. The book trader is reported to be seeking out the originality of the portraits so that he can trade them before it is too late. In case the portraits originality is authenticated they could be traded for quite a huge amount of money. The official receiver of fee in the college is married to Mrs. Bidden who is a step sister to the book trader known as Cormit. Mrs. Bidden and her spouse are always chitchatting about what is taking place in the book business. Cormit lives with a tenant woman who is viewed to be very young. It happens that one day Cormit’s body is found tied to the four curves of his bed with a nylon paper on top of his face. He is thought to have died out of suffocation but it not clear. The young room-mate confesses that when the murder took place she was actually locked in the washroom.

The police officers instantly commence the investigation by first taking the young woman into custody led by inspector Holmes. Mark is also on the mission to find out about the murder and goes ahead to study all the substantiations. He believes that the police officers have arrested the wrong suspect. Other individuals who are suspicious of the killing are the official receiver of the college’s fee and the commercial financiers. The story is plotted around the most gorgeous towns in England.
