The Evil That Men Do (2011)
“The dog, full of food, settled himself comfortably between us, and soon began to snore softly.
I sternly refused to give in to his obvious charm. He wasn’t our dog. And Sam and Emmy would have forty fits if we brought him home. However, this wasn’t the time to quarrel about it. We had more pressing issues.
‘Alan, I’ve had some ideas. Obviously the first thing we have to do is tell the police everything we learned yesterday. There are lots of leads they can follow up that we can’t, or not nearly... as effectively.’ ‘I’m surprised to hear you admit that the police can do their job better than you can.’ Oh, dear. He was still sulking about the dog. Amazing how like a little boy a man of seventy can be at times. I hurried on. ‘I’ve never claimed to be better than the police at their job. What I can do, sometimes better than they, is ask questions. I’m not only an old woman, I’m a foreigner. I’ve lost that edge in Sherebury, where everybody knows me and knows I’m married to you.MoreLess
