Page 3 of The Murder List

What the hell? Is this some kind of sick joke?

I read the words twice, three times, nausea rising. Then I start turning pages again, frantically now. Blank, blank, blank … then, on Monday the 1st of March, the same black ink, the same neat lettering. Just a different name, a different city.

MURDER DAVID, CARDIFF

I swallow hard. I’m starting to feel light-headed.

What’s going on here? What is this?

Flick, flick, flick, more blank pages, my fingers slippery with sweat now. And then I stop, little ribbons of fear curling in my stomach.

Does that say …?

It does. The black words are stark against the white page. It’s another entry, on Thursday the 1st of April.

MURDER MARY, CHELTENHAM
