The Neighbour
Page 28
Love, as always, to my family. Especially you, Isaac and Alice, my reasons for everything. And to Jason, my husband, who knows me better than anybody else. On my birthday, there were no handbags or spa days, perfume or flowers. Instead, he tracked down a ridiculously expensive forensic investigators’ textbook filled with real-life case studies of murders and how they were solved.
I don’t think I’ve ever loved him more.
