CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE

IN THE HALLWAY, as Mr Lambert held the door open for them, he said, ‘You must forgive my wife. She’s never really got on with Simon.’

‘And how about you?’ Tanner asked, stepping outside.

‘Me and Simon? Well, I must admit that I wasn’t too keen at first, but Jane always seemed to like him.’

‘What was the relationship like between them?’

‘Generally good, I think. I know they had issues when she couldn’t get pregnant, but I don’t think that was necessarily Simon’s fault, and they seemed to get back to normal pretty quickly when we heard that the IVF treatment had worked.’

‘Do you know the name of the clinic they used?’

‘It’s called Buxton Manor. It’s not far from here. Just over Ludham Bridge, on the way towards Barton Broad.’

Tanner checked to make sure Jenny had made a note of that. ‘Mr Richardson mentioned to us that he and Jane led relatively separate lives, despite the fact that they were married. Would you say that was true?’

‘I know they had their own sets of friends, and that Simon would occasionally go away to play golf with his. Jane was always fiercely independent, a bit like me, I suppose.’

As John Lambert seemed so composed, Tanner thought it was a good time to get one of the formalities out the way. ‘We’ll need to arrange to take DNA samples and fingerprints, from both you and your wife, at some point.’

‘Is that really necessary?’

‘I’m afraid it is, yes. But it’s just a formality, for purposes of elimination, to help us identify evidence found without wasting valuable time. Shall I send a forensics officer around, or would you prefer to come down to the station?’

‘The former, obviously!’

Tanner and Jenny said goodbye once more, and headed back to the car.
