A lesson in dying / Ann Cleeves.
The first gripping mystery novel in the 'Inspector Ramsay' series by NYT-bestseller Ann Cleeves, author of the 'Vera Stanhope', 'Shetland', and 'Two Rivers' series. Inspector Stephen Ramsay is called to investigate the suspicious death of headmaster Harold Medburn in the close-knit Northumberland community. But, who could have hanged the headmaster in the school playground on the night of the Halloween Party? And why? Almost everyone in Heppleburn either hated or feared the viper-tongued Harold Medburn. Inspector Ramsay is convinced the headmaster's enigmatic wife is the culprit, but the school caretaker, Jack Robson, is determined to prove her innocence. With the help of his restless daughter Patty, Jack digs into the secrets of Heppleburn, and uncovers a cesspit of lies, adultery, blackmail and madness.
