Death Stage Left – Penelope Cress (1)

Life isn’t always black and white.” Dexter turned, her face sharper than I had ever seen before. “Nope, you’re right. There’s always shades of grey. There’s fifty of them, I believe.” Mel’s eyes tried to scratch the itchy thoughts in his head. “Isn’t that a book?

About a millionaire who does … stuff. I don’t know, I’ve not read it. My church said it was an abomination.” Dexter turned back to the board and muttered. “It’s not, if it’s consensual.” “Dexter, maybe it was. Let’s park this there for now, but good work. Margaret Whitfield was obviously once a very talented and ambitious actress. It would have been quite the task to study abroad at such a prestigious school.

And you are sure they were there at the same time?” I asked. “Yes, I double checked their enrollment dates. Jennifer moved to California about six months later. Margaret was in a couple of off- Broadway plays before coming home to England. If Marianne isn’t lying on her IMDb page about her date of birth, I suspect Marianne is the reason her career was cut short.” “Curiouser and curiouser.

I wonder who Marianne’s father is.” Sharon strolled around the office, her mind processing clues with every step. “You don’t suppose it would be Gerald Temple?” Mel joined her, both of them doing mini-circuits that made me quite dizzy. It’s a very small office. “You don’t think that Danny and Marianne were dating and Margaret stabbed Gerald because…?”

“Because she found out who Danny was? Perhaps Gerald told her and she just flipped.” “Okay, okay, that is a possible scenario,” I called across from the stability of my chair. “But we have no facts. And we need facts. Evidence. No one else in the cast appears to have a scooby who Danny is. Gerald would have known straight away who Margaret is, right? They have been rehearsing for months.

If he saw anything going on between Danny and Marianne, don’t you think he would have said something earlier?” “If he knew he was Marianne’s father? Maybe he put it around so much he doesn’t know how many sprogs he sired,” Dexter joined her colleagues in their exhausting version of Alice in Wonderland’s Caucus Race.

“And maybe he isn’t her father. Don’t you think there are too many coincidences in this case already? It’s all very convenient.” “It’s all very incestuous.” Dexter replied. “I think we need to talk to Margaret Whitfield, don’t you?” “Well, I’ll be there later for the rehearsals. I’m reading the part of Polonius. We’re doing my death scene. So Margaret will probably be there to cheer her daughter on.” “Wait, what?

I needed to stay composed, but my nervous system had other plans for this interview. My right foot jiggled like an overexcited puppy. “I don’t think his intentions were romantic.”

“Really?” Quinn took a smug slug of liquid java bean. “But, you said in your statement that you met at a speed dating event at The Inn On The Lake.” “I have told you already, we were there because we had cause to believe he was the man who planted the mannequins in Miss Willow’s apartment.”
