Alone With The Dead: A PC Donal Lynch Thriller - Plot & Excerpts
Confused by the gloom, I crept cagily into the shadowy sitting room, sensing someone inside. The irrational part of me feared that the Bissets were already waiting. Slowly, my eyes adjusted to register a pair of candles glowing above a table set for two. The romantic mood failed to soothe my gnawed nerves. ‘Is that you, Donal?’ Eve called from the kitchen. ‘Yeah, wow, what’s all this?’ I said, feeling unsettled, wrong-footed. She walked in with a bottle of wine and two gleaming glasses. ‘I’ve cooked you dinner, just to say thanks for letting me stay. ‘Here,’ she handed me the uncorked bottle, ‘it’s one of your favourites. I made a note when I threw out all your empties.’ I wondered what else she’d made a note of. I couldn’t figure out why her efforts had set me on edge: I said she could stay for a few nights, not assume the role of Woman of the House. I hoped to Christ that Aidan hadn’t planned to come home tonight. She returned to the kitchen as I filled a glass to the brim, downing half of it.
