The Santa Klaus Murder (2015)
The Santa Klaus Murder
“Halstock I reached Flaxmere early on the morning of Friday after Christmas, feeling old, empty and harassed.
Parkins opened the door and he, too, looked older and seemed worried.
“If you’ll excuse me, sir, there’s something I’d like to say to you in private, that I should perhaps have said to you sooner, sir, but not thinking it was of any consequence and not wishing to give offence in any quarter, and of course a promise is a promise although in a case of this sort it’s hard to know wh...ere duty lies.”
It struck me that there was something pathetic about Parkins, evidently trying to be loyal to the family and yet, for some reason, coming to the conclusion that another duty superseded that loyalty. On re-reading last night my notes made on the evening of the crime, I had found that there was a question I must put to Parkins. I now thought he was about to volunteer the answer.
He followed me into the library and there began further explanations.MoreLess
