Oxford, 1960. A murder case no one wants to reopen. A detective no one takes seriously. And a coroner who sees what others miss.
Probationary WPC Trudy Loveday is eager to prove herself, but her superiors would rather keep her out of the way. When she’s assigned to assist Dr. Clement Ryder, an aging but sharp-minded coroner, on a cold case, it seems like a dead end—until another murder strikes.
As the rest of the police force chases blind leads, Trudy and Clement begin to suspect a chilling connection between past and present crimes. But can an underestimated young officer and a determined coroner outsmart a killer before they strike again?
Smart, twisty, and utterly gripping—A Fatal Obsession is a must-read for cozy mystery fans.
