Too Good to Be True
“The nosy landlady, Elspeth, wasn’t on duty, so he was spared her questions and could eat in peace. Today he was going to visit Anna’s parents at Berwick. He cleaned the ice and snow from the windscreen of his car and then headed off towards the coast.
Again he felt a sense of relief and escape as he left the village. He looked out for the dark watcher from the night before but there was no sign of him.
As Perez drove east, the landscape grew greener and less snowy. The sunshine was pale... and lemony and shone straight into his eyes. Anna Blackwell’s parents lived in a bungalow on the outskirts of Berwick, and as he approached he caught sight of the view across the red roofs of the town and the river Tweed, then out to the sea.
Perez had phoned the night before to warn them that he’d be coming. When he rang the doorbell, Anna’s father peered through faded lace curtains at the front window before letting him in.MoreLess
