The Sinner (2016)
“Shaw, I drove over to Rutledge Avenue to check on my place. I had been gone for nearly three months and the musty odor of neglect assailed me as I let myself in the front door.

The scent of oleander drifted over the fence and a mild breeze stirred the late roses. I was happy to see that the garden had flourished during my absence and I hated to sully the splendor with the ugly specter of bondage, body parts and murder.
