A lesson in dying / by Cleeves, Ann,author.;
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.

Murder in my backyard / by Cleeves, Ann,author.;
No one in Heppleburn has a bad word to say about Alice Parry ... But here she is, murdered in her own backyard on a bitter St. David's Eve. And when detective Stephen Ramsay starts asking questions in the village, a more ambiguous picture begins to emerge. Yes, old Mrs. Parry was loved by everyone, but sometimes her kindness had caused trouble. Yes, her two nephews were devoted to her, but they didn't really want her interfering in their rather complicated personal lives. Even among her neighbours, Alice Parry's helpfulness had sometimes misfired; and after her death, tension tight as a clenched fist grips the uneasy village. Meanwhile, the suspects keep rolling in, and Heppleburn's friendly neighbourhood killer continues his nasty piece of work.
