#eBook The Guilt Beneath by Tanis Kalkan
The rain had come, as it always did in Harrowfield, steady and relentless, like the town’s residents, neither particularly friendly nor outwardly unfriendly, just resolutely predictable.
The streets were slick, the air thick with the scent of damp earth and stale gossip. It was, by all accounts, a place where nothing of much consequence ever seemed to happen.
That is, until Miss Elizabeth Wensley was found dead.
DI Deacon stood in her study, the room a cluttered shrine to a life spent teaching young minds. Bookshelves lined every wall, each shelf bending under the weight of volumes that had once been treasured and now sat forgotten. The warm yellow light from the desk lamp flickered, casting long shadows over the worn-out furniture.
And then there was her, Miss Wensley, slumped in her high-backed armchair, eyes open, staring blankly ahead as if waiting for something. She’d been beloved by the townsfolk for years. In fact, if anyone had asked, they’d have said Elizabeth Wensley was as integral to the town as the postman or the church bell. But now she was dead, and the only thing in the room that mattered was the small scrap of paper clenched tightly in her hand.
A DI Deacon Mystery
Tanis Kalkan, a former carpenter whose hammer-wielding days are thankfully behind him, now spends his retirement crafting intricate murder mysteries, much to the dismay of his bewildered neighbours. Obsessed with Inspector Morse, he attempts to inject a touch of Oxford charm into his own tales, often substituting local brews for fine wines and bewildered squirrels for startled deer.
