wearing her headset in nearly all of
the photos.
    One
photo made Grace pause. There was someone standing at the side of Jenny,
someone who looked like a younger version of her. There were no names listed
for the photo. Did Jenny have a sister? If so, how was their relationship with
each other? Could this possible sister have something to do with Jenny’s death?
Hmm, it was a starting point.
    Grace
braced herself for the next part of her search. Her hand hovered over the
keyboard.
    She
swiftly stood up and decided she’d need another cup of tea before proceeding.
And a slice of chocolate cake would go nicely with the tea.
    Once
she’d prepared her tea and cut a generous slice of cake, Grace returned to her
keyboard and typed in certain words.
    It
didn’t take long for the information to come up.
    Jenny
Lorrimer’s death.
    Jenny
died on Saturday, 19 June 2010. Her body was discovered in the cloakroom of
King James’ Hotel in Horsforth, Leeds. Jenny had organised a wedding reception
that had taken place that day. It was thought she had disturbed a burglar who
was going through the pockets of coats, and through bags, that had been left in
the cloakroom. The cloakroom attendant had been on a break at the time and the
hotel staff had not arranged for another member of staff to cover her absence.
The attendant confirmed that she had left her position at 9 p.m. and had
returned thirty minutes later to discover the body of Jenny Lorrimer.
    The
online details confirmed that Jenny had been strangled by the lead from her
headset. The police questioned all the wedding guests but it appears that no
one saw anything, or anyone, suspicious.
    Grace
looked through more information and found the most recent update, it was dated
four years ago. The police confirmed that, despite making enquiries, no one had
been arrested for the murder of Jenny Lorrimer.
    Grace
sat back on the sofa and finished the rest of her cake.
    So,
Jenny had been at a wedding reception when she was murdered. The vision
confirmed that. Was it really a burglar who had killed her? Maybe it was one of
the wedding guests who had been stealing items, and Jenny had caught them at it.
Or was it someone who knew Jenny and had a grudge against her? Or was it
someone who would gain something by getting her out of the way - perhaps a
sister?
    It
was a lot to think about. Grace scraped the last of the cake from the plate.
She needed to have a good talk with Jenny about this last wedding. And, she’d
need to talk to her about the possible sister. And what else? There was
something else that was bothering her.
    Her
phone beeped. There was a text from Frankie advising Grace that he was having a
great time and that he was taking his angel to a nightclub.
    Grace
sent him a reply and wished him a good evening. She tapped her phone against
her chin. It was Saturday night. Shouldn’t she be out somewhere? She looked
around her living room. Actually, she was fine being here, enjoying her own
company. She stood up. And because she was enjoying her own company she decided
to have another slice of cake. She didn’t need to worry about any disapproving
looks or uncalled for remarks. There were certain advantages to living alone.
    Before
she went to bed that night, Grace made a long list of questions for Jenny.
Maybe she could find out who killed her before the end of tomorrow. Grace knew
she was being optimistic, she had a feeling that she wouldn’t be solving this
murder any time soon.

    The
shop was closed on Sundays. Grace had an excuse ready for Frankie as to why she
was there when she stepped through the shop door the next morning.
    Her
excuse was that she wanted to see how Frankie’s evening had gone. True, she could
have sent him a text but she wanted to see him in person. Grace pulled a face
as she walked towards the kitchen. He’d know she was lying.
    Pearl
was leaning against the kitchen sink, arms folded, when Grace walked in.
Pearl’s lips curled in
