Helen Cutter had ended face down in the kedgeree - one minute healthy, the next dead.
Sir James Lester eyed his five detainees. There was ex-husband Nick Cutter, lover Stephen Hart, double-crossing accomplice Oliver Leek, political rival Christine Johnson, and the man Helen had left for dead known only as Caretaker.
“All of you had the knowledge, means, motive and opportunity to murder Helen Cutter,” he said. “It was an inspired plan, knowing her partiality for mushrooms and adding deadly amanitas. Clever, but not clever enough. I shall now reveal the killer.”
All five suspects made a run for the door.
