“What about Eddie Sedgwick? What was he doing in Alice’s house yesterday?”
“Eddie’s the only person who suspected something all along. He’s not as doddery as he comes across. He said he’d been watching Alice for quite some time and realised that something strange was going on. He saw your car there and decided to go and check to see if everything was all right. You were lucky. He may have saved your life.”
Taylor swung her legs out of bed and stood up.
“What are you doing?” Killian said. “They’ll want to keep you in for observation and you need to rest.”
“I’ve been resting in here for twenty-four hours,” Taylor said. “There’s a holiday I need to take.”
