Kindle Notes & Highlights
I used to be a part-time barmaid and part-time newspaper administrator back in Palstone, Derbyshire. My duties at the paper also used to include making up the horoscopes under the name of Madam Zamber. Now here I am, after six months intensive training, working on my first official case for the agency, with Charlie as my supervising officer, and me not dealing very well with seeing the dead victim. I feel as though I have a lot to prove. Doesn’t everyone when they start a new job? In this case though, because of the way Charlie recommended me to the agency,
She doesn't want people to think she got her job because of her relationship with Charlie. she wants her own merits to speak for her. ☺️
I go and fetch a throw from Charlie’s bed and wrap it around me as I snuggle into the depths of the sofa and try to concentrate on starting another book on my e-reader. Maybe it’s not the best idea in the world that this book is a suspense-ridden thriller. Right now I could do with a gentle rom-com to read instead. I flick through the contents of the e-reader, trying to find something less dramatic to tackle. The gate outside keeps rattling against its frame but there’s no way I’m going out there in the pitch black to try and secure it.
