Outside, once we’ve taken our leave, we make our way back to the car, walking slowly.

“I think that confirms our thoughts about Susan Conroy and her jealousy, don’t you?” Thompson says, pulling the car keys from his coat pocket.

“I do indeed. Not that they really needed confirming, but it’s interesting to know the background.” I fasten the buttons of my coat to stop it catching in the brisk wind. “I think it also confirms that Norman Wharton isn’t entirely faithful in his marriage, and that his wife knows about it. That comment she made about the things he’s done during their marriage mattering more… that was very telling, I thought.”

“Yes, so did I,” Thompson replies.

“Of course, that doesn’t mean he’s still being unfaithful, but I think she suspects as much, don’t you?”

“Yes. And what we have to ask ourselves is whether he was being unfaithful with Mildred Ryder. She was their maid, after all.”

“Exactly.” I stop and turn to face him. “This is what I meant about the personalities of the people involved being so important to the case,” I explain. “Between their jealousies and obsessions, their personal frailties, and people assuming guilt in others, we’ve got ourselves a tangled web here. All we have to do is to work out who’s telling the truth, and who’s lying – and why – and then it should all untangle.”

“You make it sound easy,” Thompson scoffs.

“No… if it was easy, anyone could do it… even you.”
