Singled Out (2014)
“She told them of Emily’s visit the evening before and, as she did so, the awful truth dawned that the girl had probably walked straight from the house to her death. Laura asked whether the detectives knew the time of the murder, but they were evasive and said it hadn’t been confirmed yet.
She also gave them all the information she could about Tom. She confessed that he had walked out earlier in the week after a row with her, and supplied the meagre list of friends to whom he might possibly have... turned for refuge. Yes, she admitted, she was aware of her son’s previous attack on Emily Howard. In fact it was in connection with that incident that the girl had come to see her.
The two detectives were grave and non-committal, but Laura received the firm impression that Tom was their number one – quite possibly their only – suspect.
‘It’s important that we contact him as soon as possible, Mrs Fisher,’ said one of the detectives, ‘so that we can eliminate him from our enquiries.’ But somehow she didn’t think that was what they really wanted to do.MoreLess
