When murder strikes at a village fete, even the crows are asking, who wanted the scarecrow dead?

The sun is shining, the bunting is fluttering, and the village of Staunton is alive with the excitement of its annual fete and scarecrow festival. But amid the laughter and merriment, darkness lurks. Before the first morning is done, a woman, dressed as a scarecrow, is found dead in an isolated spot on the edge of the village.

Inspector Leslie Dykeman and the irascible Sergeant Stanley Shapes, attending the festivities in an unofficial capacity, are swiftly drawn into a case riddled with secrets, envy, and deception. Behind Staunton's picture-perfect charm lies a tangled web of old grudges and hidden motives, any of which could be a reason to kill.

But can Dykeman and Shapes untangle all these secrets and lies, and answer the crows' question, who wanted the scarecrow dead?

Death of a Scarecrow is the sixth book in Ben Westerham's classic murder mystery series, set in early 1960s Oxfordshire. Blending intrigue, humour, and a touch of romance, this is a perfect read for fans of traditional whodunnits.
