True-crime podcasters and relatives, Angie and Violet Darke, want a huge case to solve.
It lands on their doorstep. A body is discovered in Angie's pub garden. It can only mean one thing; murder. The past is never dead and buried.

So despite the latest Word update trying to wreck my chances, I still managed to get a reasonable amount of editing done today. It's now wine o'clock. I thank you. #editing
