A Lesson in Dying
by Cleeves, Ann
Who hanged the headmaster in the playground on the night of the school Hallowe’en Party? Almost
everyone in Heppleburn either hated or feared the viper-tongued Harold
Medburn. Inspector Ramsay is convinced it was the headmaster’s enigmatic
wife but Jack Robson, school governor and caretaker, is determined to
prove her innocence. With the help of his restless enthusiastic
daughter, Patty, Jack digs into the secrets of Heppleburn, and uncovers a
cesspit – of lies, adultery, blackmail and madness.
