Synopsis

No one confessed to having murdered the woman, but when the body count starts to rise, secrets start to be revealed.

Nobody liked Gloria Wiggins, a woman who regarded anyone who did not acquiesce to her jaundiced view of the world with disdain. James Baxter, the previous vicar, had been one of those, and her scurrilous outburst in the church one Sunday had hastened his death.

And now, years later, the woman was dead, hanging from a beam in her garage. Detective Inspector Tremayne and Sergeant Clare Yarwood had seen the body, interviewed the woman's acquaintances, and those who had hated her.

Intriguing story A convoluted case where suspects abound. A typical village with a mixture of people covering most of human frailties. Tremayne and Clare had very unusual reactions from a group of inhabitants, who were outspoken about the sins of other people. An interesting tale.......more

Goodreads review by Lis on September 03, 2018

DI Tremayne is edging ever closer to accepting the inevitability of retirement, as his body gets creakier, and technology plays an ever-greater role in policing.

Village secrets lead to duplicity A woman hanging in a barn brings DI Keith Tremayne and Sergeant Clare Underwood to Compton and a closely knit group of people with many secrets. The hanging woman was a fire and brimstone homophobe who was the instigator of rumors and innuendo. The more they did onto......more
