Murder Begets Murder (2016)
“As he swung off the road he saw a white Seat 127 which he identified as Hugh Compton’s. He swore.
He pulled the Mobylette up on to its rest, crossed to the front door, and rang the bell. Diana opened the door.
‘Hullo, Harry. Come on in and join the party. Hugh dropped in a bit earlier.’ He was pretty certain there was a malicious smile lurking about her lips. From her point of view, why not? They went into the sitting-room which, because the house was built on the side of the mountain, ...had a magnificent view over the land to the mountain-ringed bay. Hugh Compton, who was sitting out on the terrace, sounded really pleased to see Waynton. ‘It’s good to meet you, Harry.

Then he laughed at himself for this uncharacteristic small-mindedness, knowing its cause was jealousy.MoreLess
