Secret of the Shadows
“I went into Aunt Belle’s room and curled up in her armchair and we watched an old Hitchcock film on television. I was asleep before the end and when I woke up it was dawn. Slices of early morning light cut through the clouds. Aunt Belle must have fallen asleep reading. Her book had slipped to the floor and I picked it up and smiled at the title. Angels of Death.

She looked better, showered and dressed in a smart blue dress and jacket, with her make-up and her wig on. ‘We’re going for a run in the car, honey,’ she announced. ‘Let’s go out for lunch. Is there anywhere round here I can get a decent hamburger?’ We drove to one of the hotels further down the coast and sat on the terrace overlooking the water.MoreLess
