The Theotokis Inheritance (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
He hadn’t intended being so long in Dorchester, but he’d unexpectedly bumped into John Mayhew and had joined him for a drink at The Bear Hotel. There’d been no reply from Helena when he’d texted her to say he’d be late. Now, he let himself in at the back door fully expecting to see her in the kitchen, but the house was silent and Oscar’s lip tilted briefly. She was probably upstairs still unpacking all her clothes, he thought. He put the kettle on to make himself a coffee, then wandered over to the window… It was dire weather—the rain had been incessant for hours—and Oscar couldn’t help feeling slightly nostalgic for the Greek island paradise that he went to whenever he could. It would be fantastic there now, he thought, the incredible blue-green of the sea competing with the brilliance of a cloudless azure sky. When he was there, time became irrelevant. But this was England, and he knew that weather like today’s was fairly normal—though Oscar had to admit that his youthful memories only seemed to conjure up pictures of long, fine days spent here in the lazy countryside.
