Dead on Arrival
A British detective must find the killer of a much-despised villager in this mystery from the CWA Silver Dagger Award-winning author. Det. Inspector Luke Thanet is brought in when a dead man is found in bed, apparently killed by a single blow with a blunt object. When the corpse is identified as Steven Long, the question is no longer who wanted to kill him, but who didn't? A troublemaker with enemies wherever he went, Long was loathed by everyone in town, from his long-suffering ex-wife to the man whose family he killed in a driving accident. To find the culprit, Thanet will have to get to the bottom of a lifetime of hate. Praise for Dorothy Simpson "A modern-day version of Agatha Christie." — Booklist "Dependably pleasing." — The Boston Globe Dead on Arrival is the 6th book in the Inspector Thanet Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
