"She writes nicely and her characters do not come out of the stock cupboard." - THE SPECTATOR. For Dorothea Cassidy, Thursdays were special - she would plan to visit people as a welcome respite from the duties that being a vicar's wife entailed. However, one Thursday in June, Dorothea Cassidy was strangled! It is not until a second body is discovered that Inspector Stephen Ramsay starts to understand how Dorothea lived - and why she died.

From the Inside Flap:
hor of MURDER IN MY BACKYARD comes this mystery where a vicar's wife has done her last good deed...
Vicars' wives do not usually get themselves murdered....especially when they are as vibrant and caring as beautiful Dorothea Cassidy. But murdered she unquestionably was; and from the outset Inspector Stephen Ramsay is hard put to figure out why, let alone who. And though he did not know her in life, she charms him in her death.
