Chapter 21

The chemist was at the far end of the main street. I told her my aunt’s symptoms and she seemed to think Aunt Belle was right. It was probably just a bug she had picked up on the plane. I so wanted that to be the case I didn’t even question it. ‘But if there is no improvement by tomorrow, call the doctor. No matter what she says,’ she told me. ‘At her age you can’t take any chances.’

Aunt Belle was sleeping when I got back in the house. But it looked as if she’d been up. Looking for her book again by the way books were scattered across the floor. Her own book was the first one I picked up. Angels of Death.

I held it in my hand and began to think. How often had I picked this book up from the floor? I’d lost count. Angels of Death. Always there on the floor waiting for me.

Waiting.

Now why should I use that word?

And it wasn’t a murder mystery as I had first thought, but real-life case histories of unsolved murders. I opened the book, and there written in her neat hand, was my gran’s name. Rosina Tyler Crawford. She always wrote her name in her books. This wasn’t Aunt Belle’s book at all. It was my gran’s. I turned to the title page.
