Fatal Flaw — Frank Smith

DEAD FOR THE HOLIDAYS
What drove seventeen-year-old Monica Shaw to take her life with an overdose of insulin? The pain of being alone and unwanted for the holidays at Thornton Hill Girls' School -- or something else? It's a Christmas murder for Detective Chief Inspector Neil Paget.

And then another. This time, the crime scene is the school's next-door stables. The weapon is a pitchfork. And more disturbing, the bizarre twists and turns of the case lead to a woman that Paget was dating.

Yet neither the village of Shropshire nor Thornton Hill School can fully mask the secrets making the winter landscape icy and treacherous for Paget as he navigates the fear, desperation and dark deeds that hide the twisted motives of the innocent...to find the fatal flaw of a killer.
