Among the people mourning the death of Keren Lowe was someone who had recently dispatched Hemingford Grey to join her in the ranks of the unalive. Who they were, and what possible reason they might have to do such a thing, were questions beyond his comprehension.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, he had a few sharp-minded fellow sleuths standing around who might just be able to help. \u2018Why would anyone want to kill the gift shop manager?\u2019 he asked, his voice betraying the horror that was starting to sink in at the sight of the second body of the day. \u2018Why indeed,\u2019 intoned Professor Stone gravely.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018He had intimated to me this morning that the house held secrets \u2013 and I\u2019m not talking about the priest holes and inscriptions. Maybe he knew too much about something he shouldn\u2019t have.\u2019 \u2018What do you mean?\u2019 asked Lauren timidly. \u2018I mean, maybe he had learned of one of those secrets, and the person whose secret it was didn\u2019t like him knowing.\u2019 \u2018So they killed him?\u2019 Bella sounded impressed.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It\u2019s a theory.\u2019 Fforde was less complimentary. \u2018So is the notion that he wandered into the woods, ran into that film location manager, who\u2019d got lost in the snow and gone mad since setting off for help and murdered Hemingford thinking he was a serial killer escaped from a nearby lunatic asylum.\u2019 \u2018Now you\u2019re just being silly,\u2019 said Bella.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>First published in Great Britain by HarperCollinsPublishers 2026 Copyright \u00a9 M.
