Wake The Dead

A village fete shouldn’t turn up too many murders for Inspector Luke Thanet to investigate. Even the death of the local MP’s elderly mother doesn’t seem at all suspicious. But, as Thanet soon discovers, Isobel Fairleigh did not die of natural causes. She was murdered, and every single person who was at the fete is a potential suspect. Or was the murderer someone closer to home? As Thanet and his deputy, Sergeant Mike Lineham, delve deeper into Isobel Fairleigh’s past, they learn that crime knows no class barriers.
