6 Grounds for Murder
“She woke up with the melody running through her mind the next morning, and even found herself humming the tune as she poured cold water into the washbowl from the jug.
Shivering, she stripped off her flannel nightgown. She couldn’t wait until she could go into the kitchen and warm her bum in front of the stove.

After picking out small lumps of coal, she carefully balanced them on top of the sticks, then reached up for the matches on the mantelpiece.MoreLess
