The Woman In Blue: The Dr Ruth Galloway Mysteries 8 - Plot & Excerpts
The AA have towed his car away and he gets a lift in a squad car. He’s grateful that the driver is the taciturn sort who doesn’t like to chat. ‘You can stop here,’ he says, at the entrance to the cul-de-sac. ‘Save you turning round. Goodnight.’ The lights are on downstairs. His heart sinks and he realises that he’d been hoping Michelle was upstairs, asleep, and that any talking could wait until morning. Don’t be a wimp, he tells himself. He was less scared when a madman pulled a gun on him last year. Michelle is in the sitting room watching one of those programmes where celebrities talk about themselves and their films. She’s wearing her white dressing gown and her hair is loose. ‘Did Tanya come?’ he asks. ‘Yes. She brought a lady doctor with her. She was very nice.’ Nelson switches on the overhead light. In its unforgiving glare he can see the bruises around his wife’s neck. She shields her eyes with her hand. ‘Harry, please. You know I hate that light.’ She does too.
