Welcome to my contribution to the A to Z Challenge. My theme this year is Murder Most Foul, which, for you, my blog visitors, means that you will be sharing in The Case of the Cursed House, or rather the bare bones of it.
Everyday, I will be revealing more about my developing Cozy Mystery: descriptions of scenes; character details; locations; clues to the mystery. And, at the end of each post, you will have the chance to vote on whodunnit. So, without further ado, on with the case...

In the morning, Aisha meets Barnwell and Williams at the car park as agreed. They swap notes:
They see Rev Sally Tawks heading into the church as they are talking, and DCI points out she was visiting Bill regularly, so she heads off after the vicar, telling Williams and Aisha to head to the shop first and check to see if Bill got his refills there. However, as they are about to head in, Aisha gets a call: it's Jon Lee. He tells her he has Bethany Mortby at his cottage.

That's interesting to think about who might have poisoned him and why - either because they didn't know he had cancer or because they wanted him dead sooner. Hmm....
