A Day in the death of Dorothea Cassidy. Ann Cleeves. 2024.

For vicar’s wife Dorothea Cassidy, Thursday was always special because it was her day off. But one day in June was to be more special than any other. It was the day that Dorothea Cassidy was strangled.

But who would murder this beautiful, caring woman? As the small town of Otterbridge prepares for its summer carnival, Inspector Stephen Ramsay must piece together her last few hours and figure out which of her parishioners, or perhaps even a member of her own family, could possibly have wanted her dead.
