Dante O’Rourke.

What’s happened?

“I’ve identified the last two women to see Stewart alive,” she whispered.

“Henrietta Langton and Eloise Fitzpatrick?”

“Yes. Have you established the time of death?”

“The killer struck shortly before you crash-landed in the wardrobe—”

“Could you not phrase it quite like that?”

“What would you prefer?”

“Time of arrival.”

“Okay. So we’re looking to fill a two-hour gap. Henrietta saw him two hours before you arrived. We’ve cleared Ramona because she was making a call from her room and the phone records can verify that.” He went on to name the others who’d been cleared because they’d been on a shopping trip to the nearest village and had credit card receipts to prove their absences from the house.

“Can you trust those receipts?” Lexie asked.

“What do you mean?”

“Someone could have given their credit card to someone else.” She surveyed the patio to see if anyone was missing and quickly resumed her guard over Luna. “Don’t worry. I think I’m being overly suspicious. My mom told me there’s a prize on Luna’s head and it’s all I can really think about.”

“Take extra care. It might all be tied in together. You said it yourself, the cats are the common denominators.”

“What if Stewart was killed because he had his eye on Luna and the killer wanted to clear the way for themselves?” Everyone had expressed an interest in Luna. That made narrowing down the suspects impossible. “Okay, so who can’t account for that two hour gap?”

“Lucinda Carmichael, Aurora Smithson and Bebe Brown.”

“What were they doing?”

“They all claimed to have been in their rooms but they can’t confirm their alibis.”

“What about the staff?”

“All accounted for. The housekeeper runs a tight ship.”

“What if the killer decides they’ve had enough and leaves?”

“No one is leaving without us knowing.”

“How can you be sure?”

“I have my ways.”

Lexie couldn’t help looking over her shoulder. “This is where you reassure me and say you have someone under cover in the house.”

“Sorry. Can’t help you there. I’m nearby if you need anything.”

Great to know she had the cavalry standing by but could she trust them to get to her in time?
