The Reluctant Detective (Faith Morgan Mysteries) - Plot & Excerpts
Faith walked through the still church into the nave. The paper bag with its contents had been removed from the pew. Someone had closed the piano lid. A residue of aluminium powder clouded its surface, the mess of fingerprints standing out under the dust like skeleton leaves. It was peaceful in the nave. Faith crossed in front of the altar and sat down in one of the well-polished pews by a pillar. The light slanted down through the stained-glass windows and glanced on the panel patiently awaiting its restoration against the wall. The cracked glass lamb on its emerald green lawn smiled its enigmatic smile from the shadows. What is there to smile about? That poor man! What kind of misery had driven Trevor Shoesmith to that barn? Could he really have poisoned Alistair Ingram? She tried to picture a living man coming down that muddy track towards the church with murder in his mind. She couldn’t visualize Trevor Shoesmith alive. All she saw was the grotesque, distorted husk of a man hanging in the barn.
