“Jenny was standing in the bedroom, looking through into the bathroom, her hands either side of her face.‘What is it?’ asked Nightingale.Jenny took a step back and pointed at the bathroom with her right hand. The colour had drained from her face and her eyes were wide and staring.Nightingale put his arm around her. He could feel her trembling. ‘Jenny?’She opened her mouth but no words came out. Nightingale reached forward with his left hand and gently pushed the bathroom door.Mrs Monkton was on ...her knees by the bath. Her head was underwater, her blonde hair floating on the surface, rippling in the waves caused by the two rivers of water pouring from the taps. The water had turned red but Nightingale couldn’t see where the blood was coming from. He guided Jenny over to the bed and sat her down. She stared at him with unseeing eyes.Nightingale went back to the bathroom. The red water was edging up to the top of the bath and he moved to turn off the taps, but froze as he saw the body sitting on the toilet.It was Mr Monkton, some forty years older than in the wedding photograph on the mantelpiece and a great deal deader.MoreLessRead More Read Less
