Summary
A Lesson in Dying is the first mystery novel in the Inspector Ramsay series by Ann Cleeves, author of the Shetland and Vera Stanhope crime series.

Who hung the headmaster in the playground on the night of the school Halloween 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 daughter Patty, Jack digs into the secrets of Heppleburn, and uncovers a cesspit of lies, adultery, blackmail and madness . . .

Continue the classic whodunit series with Murder in My Backyard.

I have certainly read better books from this author as this is a new character maybe it will become more interesting.

Profile Avatar Fenella B. Jul 2024

Very enjoyable along the lines of midsummer murders or an Agatha Christie. Nothing too horrendous or graphic with a good plot. I did find it quite hard to get into as I like to listen while driving and so many new characters are introduced if you miss a word or two you can easily get lost. I had to rewind the beginning three times. She can quickly cut to new scenes which can also get you quite lost in the narrative if you aren’t giving it your full attention. I liked it enough to listen to the second one straight after. The narrator is excellent just a little odd he gives nearly everyone a regional accent and if they are from the south they get London accents . No RP here!
