Winter of Discontent — Jeanne M. Dams

When the body of Bill Fanshawe, curator of the museum in the quaint English town of Sherebury, is found dead in the Roman tunnels beneath the museum, Dorothy Martin's heart goes out to the octogenarian's close friend Jane Langland. But what at first looks like a death of natural causes becomes suspicious when Bill's assistant is found bludgeoned in his office, barely alive.

The case seems to revolve around a new exhibit that Alan, Dorothy's husband, was creating on Sherebury's role in World War II. Dorothy, a retired American schoolteacher with her own perspective on the war, discovers several secrets among the aging and eccentric RAF characters. A saga of treachery, heartbreak and decades of deceit soon shockingly unfolds. And while few can still remember the war personally, there's a killer who refuses to forget...with a vengeance.
