Title: A Murder Too Many
First published: 1989
Description: Andrew Basnett series #5

Retired botany professor Andrew Basnett returns to Knotlington, where he'd taught at the university years before, and finds that although it has been two years since the death of artist Carl Judd, his murder is still a subject of hot dispute. Giles Farmoor, Andrew's friend and former student, insists that Andrew can ferret out the truth from the tangle of people and events surrounding the murder and its sordid aftermath. Stephen Sharland has been convicted of the murder, but his wife and Judd's widow maintain his innocence. And now more people are being murdered, the rumor of blackmail has surfaced, and the ugliness of two years past has been exhumed. What event could have precipitated a renewal of violence? Andrew has little hope of discovering the answers, but he will do his best to help his friends unravel the mystery.
