Murder in Steeple Martin
“She had drifted into sleep somewhere around four o’clock, but when she heard the milk float whining down Allhallow’s Lane just after six it became infuriatingly apparent that the ravell’d sleave of care was to remain unknitted.
After the last weeks of cold and indeterminate weather, spring seemed to have arrived. The sun shone from a clear blue sky and Libby could at last smell the lilac that tapped on the conservatory windows. In the house where she’d grown up there had been a lilac tree hangi...ng over the fence from next door and the scent always evoked childhood and security. Now it seemed almost indecently inappropriate.
Sidney disappeared over the fence, whiskers alert for stirring wildlife, and Libby envied him his escape. At some point this morning Peter and Harry would pick her up to take her to Canterbury Police Station, and until then she had to fill her time, take her mind off things. Nothing appealed. Never at her best with housework, the thought of brushing down the stairs or mopping the kitchen floor made her even more depressed.MoreLess
