The Lover of the Grave by Andrew TaylorMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Warning, there is some historically authentic language which may offend modern readers (as an aside, I remember this word being used when I was a child and yet when I read it on the page I was seriously shocked - it just goes to show that society really can evolve).
A man is found hanged in the aptly named Hanging Tree with his trousers pulled down around his ankles, initially thought to be a local farmer it turns out to be his twin brother who was a school teacher at the local private school. Add in a peeping Tom, a Hollywood film star trying to go incognito, secret affairs, pregnancies, secret babies. It's book three in this engaging series featuring Detective Inspector Thornhill and reporter Jill Francis.
