Death in the Aegean Read Online Free

expected that the only people who would care would be her sons and grandchildren. Eve guessed that Kevin wouldn’t be sad, not going on that conversation she overheard at their Christmas party. In fact they seemed to hate each other. She decided it would be better to forget about him for the moment, so she turned her attention to Lucy.
    Was Lucy killed in the cave or was she murdered somewhere else and then thrown into the sea, finally washing up there? Or perhaps she was brought to the cave in a boat or she could have been carried from the cove? It wasn’t far and she was very light. And who had killed her? Kevin? His brother, Paul? Or somebody else?  This is so interesting. I would love to solve the case before the police.  
    Eve was getting excited, the shock of finding Lucy’s dead body subsiding. Eve lived in the moment and was able to put things behind her very quickly, except where David was concerned.
    However, as Eve sat there, an awful thought ran through her head. She had touched the body. 
    The police will say I shouldn’t have touched it. Damn......... Well, I had to see who it was. I know, I’ll say I had to make sure she was dead. She might not have been and I could have helped her. The light was very dim so I had to make certain and that meant touching her.
    Eve’s thoughts were disturbed by sirens and she was relieved. Although she thought the killer was long gone, a small part of her was worried that he or she might suddenly appear and attack her.
    Before long, a police car and ambulance drove down to the cove. The road was steep and dusty, and while Eve hadn’t bothered driving down in her expensive Mercedes, they didn’t seem bothered.
    Dimitris Kastrinakis and a few other policemen walked towards Eve, followed by a couple of men with a stretcher. Eve started to get excited about the start of a new case, although she knew that this was the last thing she should be feeling.
    I must pretend to be upset about Lucy’s death, I really must, she said to herself, trying to look sad.
    Eve knew the possibility of Dimitris seeing through her facade was very real, but she had to give it a go. She needed to be as discreet as possible this time, for the sake of her relationship with David. When she discovered who the murderer was without getting hurt or getting into any sort of trouble, then she would tell him. In fact, she probably wouldn’t have to, as it would be reported on T.V. and in the papers. He would most certainly be proud of her achievement and would forgive her for going behind his back.
    Within a couple of minutes, Dimitris Kastrinakis came over to talk to Eve, followed by another officer.
    “Well, it’s been a while,” Dimitris said, almost smiling. “After you point out where the cave is, I will need to ask you a few questions, Miss Masters, as I’m sure you’d expect.”
    Eve nodded. She didn’t feel like getting into another argument with him. She was certain that they would never see eye to eye, but she had no choice but to answer his questions.
    Eve waded into the sea with Dimitris, another policeman called Stavros, and the men carrying the stretcher. Once she had shown them where the cave was, she paddled back to the beach and waited for Dimitris to come back. She suddenly felt quite nervous; countless questions filling her mind. What if the body had disappeared? What if Dimitris was angry with her for touching Lucy? What if they suspected her of the murder?  
    However, Eve calmed down once Dimitris got back and started questioning her. She was surprised that he seemed less antagonistic than usual and wondered if it was because she had found the body. Perhaps he realized that she must still be in shock.
    “So, can you tell us in your own words, what happened this morning, Miss Masters?”
    He spoke gently, but Eve still sighed.
    He knows exactly what happened, but I suppose I’ve got to repeat it for the other officer so he can write it down.”
    “Well,” Eve said in a
