Murder in the Afternoon (42 page)

Dr Barry Strickland-Hodge, Senior Pharmacy Lecturer and Head of Medicines Management at Leeds University, gave me the benefit of his expertise.

John Goodchild guided me through his Aladdin’s cave: a superb archive of Wakefield history. Steven Dowd and staff at Leeds and Wakefield Libraries were most helpful.

Thanks to Emma Beswetherick, Lucy Icke and all at Piatkus, and to my agent, Judith Murdoch.

Thanks also to Anna Clifford, Sylvia Gill, Christine Law-Green, Ralph Lindley, Pat McNeil, Vanessa Rosenthal and Peter Walker.

The village of Great Applewick is fictional; but you knew that, of course.
