"Murder?" I gasped
"Well, Zach seems to think so." She said matter of factly
"Like, proper 'in the libary with the candlestick' murder?"
Rhonwen glowered disaprovingly, "Mia, really, if you are going to liken this case to some ridiculous board game I won't let you come."
"Sorry."
She turned and reached for her laptop, muttering something about murders and guesswork. She snapped the computer open, causing a pile of biscuits in varying stages of consumption to cascade onto the floor. I sighed. I'd just vacuumed yesterday.
The laptop began making the regular clicks and whirs as it started up and we waited patiently. Or I did, at least. At long last the email had loaded and I was able to see the correspondence Rhonwen had recieved from her old friend.

"Dear Rhonny,
I'm not sure how to start this message. Three days ago my great aunt, that is, my stepmother's aunt, was found dead in our guest room. As there was no reason to suspect foul play, it was announced a natural death. Aunt Lauren was an elderly lady, after all, but I couldn't help but think of how healthy she looked the night before. I spoke to her doctor about it and he also said she had seemed well. Very well, in fact, and there was no reason she should have died so quickly with no notice.
Apparantly my inquiries got the doctor thinking. He believes it was murder and has ordered a post mortem.
This is your sort of thing now, isn't it? Please come - Auntie was murdered, I'm sure of it.
Yours
Zachary"

Above were the words,
"it is indeed my sort of thing"

I was struck by how formally this boy had laid out his email. Especially to an old friend.
"So we're going to visit the lord of the manor?" I asked sarcastically, throwing in an over exaggerated curtsey for good measure.
"Exactly"
I am on FIRE!
*Ahem*
I mean to say - two Rhonwen uploads in two days. You lucky children.
