Publisher's summary

Ann Cleeves Classic Crime - engaging mysteries to savour, beloved characters to meet again

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

For Dorothea Cassidy Thursdays were special. 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 haunted, 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 falling in Otterbridge, Ramsay’s murder investigation reaches its chilling climax...

Not Ann Cleaves Best Work

I love Ann Cleaves books, but this simply wasn’t her best. Well read, and definitely enjoyable, but not in the category of Shetland or Vera.

Enjoyable Listen

Detective Ramsey wasn’t a particularly likable character when I first started listening to these books but he’s definitely grown on me. I thought this one was interesting and it definitely kept me guessing about the murderer until near the end. Definitely recommend to anyone who is a fan of this author

A Day in the Death of Dorothea Cassidy

While the book was okay, it was not up to Ann Cleeves usual intriguing, thought provoking writing. I still remain a fan!
