CHAPTER NINE

ELOISE’S INABILITY to fall into a decent sleep had nothing whatsoever to do with her lingering jet-lag, she decided as she tossed and turned till dawn. Lachlan had delivered her to the door of the guest-house and under the cover of darkness had pressed a barely-there kiss to her mouth before leaving her standing there aching for more.

She gave the pillow another hard thump and groaned in frustration. Her lips still felt tingly and her body restless and the sound of Mr Price’s laptop computer being pecked at in the early hours of the morning certainly hadn’t helped her to relax.

Peck. Peck. Peck. Peck.

It reminded her of Lachlan’s pen as he’d sat opposite her…had it really only been a few hours ago? So much seemed to have happened since then.

The pecking of the computer finally stopped and she closed her eyes, willing herself to sleep, when she heard Mr Price speaking into what she assumed was a Dictaphone.

‘The killer had stalked the victim relentlessly for months, day and night, like a shadow of evil cast over her, always there, always invisible but always there. She knew it. She felt it. She sensed it. She even smelt it.’

Eloise buried her head under another pillow and gave another groan.
