A Village Deception (Turnham Malpas 15) - Plot & Excerpts
At the time, it hadn’t registered because there was so much to do on his return and it had been such a shock when he found the takings were down so much. So there was a lot to catch up on, but one day when he was adding up the takings, an idea crept quietly into his mind and wouldn’t go away. What was it Tom had said about being incredibly busy? That was it! He’d said that Harry had to go to the store each morning, remove the takings from the safe, count up the money, the cheques and the credit card slips in Jimbo’s little office, then enter it on the banking slips and take it to the bank simply because Tom had no time to spare. He couldn’t blame Tom. Realistically, he’d left him with far too much to do. The store was open for six days a week and there was no one to let him take a day off. There were the rounds to do, collecting the produce for the mail order business and for the store, keeping the shelves well stocked, ordering the stock and, on top of all that, being responsible for the post office too.
