A Day in the Death of Dorothea Cassidy

Read A Day in the Death of Dorothea Cassidy Storyline:

For Dorothea Cassidy Thursdays were special. Every week she would
look forward to the one day she could call her own, and would plan to
visit people she wanted to see as a welcome respite from the routine
duties that being a vicar’s wife entailed. But one Thursday in June was
to be more special than any other. It was the day that Dorothea Cassidy
was strangled. As the small town of Otterbridge prepares for its
summer carnival, Inspector Stephen Ramsay begins a painstaking
reconstruction of Dorothea’s last hours. He soon discovers that she had
taken on a number of deserving cases – a sick and lonely old woman, a
disturbed adolescent, a compulsive gambler, a single mother with a
violent boyfriend and a child in care – and even her close family have
their secrets to hide. All these people are daunted, in one way or
another, by Dorothea’s goodness. But which of them could have possibly
wanted her dead? It is 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 failing in
Otterbridge, Ramsay’s murder investigation reaches its chilling climax .
