Dead Gorgeous (A Mystery for D.I. Costello)
““That’s Katy back from Mass. What are the odds she’ll be up here with another cuppa in a minute?”
Leanne laughed. “I’m not betting; I’ll lose.”
They’d arrived after lunch the previous day and taken Angela’s instructions to heart, coming loaded with supplies of food. Katy Devine wasn’t under Angela’s authority, however, so she had included them in her calculations for the evening meal. Derek and Leanne found the appeal of their shop-bought sandwiches faded very quickly compared with the aroma of... a fried liver and bacon dinner followed by lemon meringue pie. And not an hour passed in which Katy didn’t pop upstairs to ask if they were ready for another cup of tea. A full English breakfast had arrived the moment they’d come to take over from the uniformed officers who’d stood watch overnight. By this time the sandwiches had dried up on a shelf in the corner.
Leanne flipped through the overnight notes. Two men and three women had been seen to leave the house at nine o’clock.MoreLess
