A Day in the Death of Dorothea Cassidy is the third novel in the Inspector Ramsay series by Ann Cleeves, author of the Shetland and Vera Stanhope crime series.
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 . . .
