Reginald Hill– Child's Play
As the saying goes, "Where there's a will there's a relative" and in this case (pun intended) there's not only one but several relatives not to mention a handful of charities and and of course a churlish fat man in the form of Dalziel.
In this Dalziel and Pascoe novel a wealthy "Woman of the Empire" dies but leaves her fortune to a son thought by all, except her, to have been lost during WWII. Relatives abound as the will is contested and soon enough the number of funerals increase.
