Fateful Obsession

For fans of Agatha Christie and Richard Osman. Oxford, 1960. Young police constable Trudy Loveday is still on probation. She is bright, perceptive, and determined to succeed, yet her colleagues overlook and underestimate her. When her superior reassigns her to assist coroner Clement Ryder, it seems like a dead-end posting. But Ryder has just reopened the case of a young woman's mysterious death—a case that perhaps should never have been closed. Trudy soon discovers that nothing is as simple as it first appears. At the same time, a series of threats and brutal murders shakes the local community. A coincidence… or a carefully hidden connection? Clement can't shake the feeling that the individual events are part of a larger, darker puzzle. And Trudy begins to suspect that the truth may be more dangerous than anyone is willing to admit. Can they unravel the mystery together before the killer strikes again?
