Murder At The Fete: A Lady Margaret Turnbull Culinary Cozy Mystery (Culinary Mystery Books Book 1)
Page 3
“Mrs. Davies, Mrs. Carrington, and Mrs. Grant committed perjury during Sam Connor’s trial thirty years ago. Their statements sent Sam to prison for life, where, as I told you before, he committed suicide. Ten years ago, the three of them admitted to their perjury about the suspect’s vehicle and Sam obtained a pardon posthumously.
“However,” she held up her index finger in the air. This was her favorite part. “The ladies’ admission of guilt came too late as far as his son was concerned. Daniel wanted them to pay for what they’d done to his…. father. Yes…father!”
“His mother, you see, suffered the wrath of the town gossips for years until she eventually reverted to her maiden name—Greenaway. She and her son moved away, embarrassed and ashamed, but Daniel wanted retribution for the loss of his father. He’s been planning this for a very long time Detective. Remember what I said earlier – poisoning is not random. It’s a private affair and in Daniel’s case it’s very, very personal.”
Within moments, Tom had called in an arrest of Daniel Greenaway at the local convenient store, where he was reported to have been picking up gasoline and matches. Later on while going through his wallet, a worn, crumpled portrait photo of Sam Connor would be found; the father he had lost because of the actions of Mrs. Davies, Grant and Carrington. Now he would pay for their injustice.
News spread fast in the small township of Bangalow; shocked at the arrest of their local police constable. But life must go on. Melissa still managed to show up on Monday morning with the delivery of baked goods from her father. Never once had she considered, she told Lady Maggie, that Daniel’s interest in the older women of the town was anything but harmless. Murder never is though.
