For Dorothea Cassidy Thursdays were special. .. .
With the carnival festivities in full swing and dusk failing in Otterbridge, Ramsay\'s murder investigation reaches its chilling climax .
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.
All these people are daunted, in one way or another, by Dorothea\'s goodness.
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.
As the small town of Otterbridge prepares for its summer carnival, Inspector Stephen Ramsay begins a painstaking reconstruction of Dorothea\'s last hours.
It was the day that Dorothea Cassidy was strangled.
But one Thursday in June was to be more special than any other.
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.
