Day in the Death of Dorothea Cassidy

For Dorothea Cassidy, Thursdays are special - a welcome respite from her duties as a vicar`s wife. Then she is strangled, and Thursdays are never the same again. With the summer carnival underway in the small town of Otterbridge, Inspector Ramsay begins a painstaking investigation. He discovers that Dorothea had taken on a number of deserving cases, including a sick and lonely old woman, a disturbed adolescent and a compulsive gambler. Now these people are haunted, in one way or another, by Dorothea`s goodness. And even her immediate family have secrets to hide. But which of them could possibly have wanted her dead? It`s not until a second body is discovered that Ramsay starts to understand how Dorothea lived - and why she died. With the carnival festivities in full swing and dusk falling, Ramsay`s murder investigation reaches its chilling climax . . .
