1985 Scribners hardcover, Dorothy Simpson (Suspicious Death). When Det. Inspector Luke Thanet was a young man, Alicia Parnell was one of the most popular girls in Sturrenden: beautiful, charming, and brilliant.

But two decades later, Alicia comes home to start her life over in the country village where she was born. No one knows what drew her back, and no one has a chance to ask-because less than a day after her return, Alicia is murdered. - Amazon
