A Casualty of War Page 35

by Charles Todd


  After we’d passed the broken hedgerow where Mr. Ellis’s motorcar had come to grief, Simon glanced my way.

  “Were you asked to come to Barbados?”

  I smiled. “I was. It was kind of him. But Somerset is my home, and I’m used to it.”

  “Then I’ll take you there.”
