Having managed to get home without bumping into any more members of the Amateur Archaeological Society, Holly was ready for a night of rest and relaxation - starting with the relaxation bit. She walked up to the bathroom, which was one of the best bits of her little cottage, and the main reason she’d been renting here for so long. The room had a beautiful wooden floor (well-treated to avoid damp) and a very generous bathtub. Holly took her time browsing through her collection of bath bombs, before picking the one that smelt right for the night.

She’d just popped it into the water and was watching it fizz and bubble when the landline rang. Normally, she’d have been tempted to leave it, but some intuition pushed her out of the room and onto the landing to answer the phone.

“Did you have an altercation today with Bernie Bolton?”

Holly frowned at the handset, quickly figuring out who it was that was calling her. It was typical that DCI Chittenden thought he could forgo any greeting sequence.

“Not an altercation, no. I just put him right when he tried to persuade me to go home with him. He was rude, and I told him so,” she said flatly, wondering who would have bothered to tell the detective that. “Why do you ask?”

A nasty suspicion was forming in her mind.

“He’s dead,” came the reply.
