touched Lucy’s cheek; Yiannis who was almost twenty years younger than her; Yiannis who was supposed to be a bully and a woman beater. They had then parted with Yiannis giving Lucy a gentle kiss. Did Lucy reciprocate? Unfortunately, Jane hadn’t been able to see properly. Was Yiannis the man Lucy was having the affair with or was this just a little bit of flirtation?
Jane was sure Yiannis hadn’t seen her, nor had Lucy, but what was she to do? Should she go to the police? If Yiannis found out she had reported him and he was the killer, her life could be in danger and she didn’t think she could go through all that again. It had terrified her being tied up by James, the man she had loved. He had also poisoned her and she had become far sicker than Eve or Paul. It had taken her a long time to get over this experience, both mentally and physically, and she still had the odd nightmare about it. No, she couldn’t go through that again.
Jane hadn’t told Paul about Yiannis and Lucy after she had seen them. She had thought it was probably innocent so why stir up trouble. The relationship between Kevin and Lucy was fragile and Paul was turning against Lucy as well. Jane didn’t want to rock the boat, so she had put the incident to the back of her mind – until now.
My goodness, if Paul knew about Yiannis and Lucy, he could confront Yiannis and who knows what would happen then. Paul does have a terrible temper at times and Yiannis loves to fight. One of them could get killed.
Then Jane had an awful thought and tried to rid her mind of it as quickly as possible.
Of course, Paul might have known already and could have confronted Lucy. That would be even worse. He didn’t much like her and he could have got angry. No, I can’t think like this. Paul would never kill anyone...... would he? Oh dear, how can I doubt him? I’m supposed to be in love with him. No, Kevin already suspected that Lucy was having an affair....... it’s more likely he killed her.
Jane wondered if she should go and talk to Kevin first about Yiannis. However, she was a little scared. If he had killed Lucy, he could kill her as well. Yes, he could be a dangerous man.
No, it’s not a good idea........ The one person I need to talk to is Eve, but should I?
Jane and Eve were good friends, but Jane didn’t want Eve to get into trouble with David. He hated Eve getting involved in the murders and risking her life. However, Jane was certain Eve was already thinking about looking for the murderer. Whatever David said, Eve would do what she wanted. Yes, first thing in the morning, Jane decided to go and see Eve Masters.

A little later that night, Eve was lying in bed thinking.
I’m sure it’s murder. What else could it be? There were definitely marks around her neck so how could it have been an accident? And she was fully clothed. If she had wanted to go to the cave, I’m sure she would have put on a bathing costume. I reckon somebody killed her elsewhere and then carried her to the cave, not expecting anyone to find her for ages. No, it’s definitely murder.
Eve was getting excited, although she was pretty certain that Kevin was the culprit, even though it was an obvious choice. Who else would want to kill her? She racked her brains, but couldn’t think of anyone with enough motive.
Eve then remembered that David’s niece, Emma, was coming over from England the following day.
Why did this have to happen now with Emma arriving tomorrow? David’s going to start worrying about her with a murderer running loose, but Emma is twenty-one not twelve and I doubt this is a random killing. The murderer will have had a motive, I’m sure, and isn’t going to go round just killing anyone.
Emma, David’s niece, was on holiday from university and she had secured a job in a local bar for the summer when she had visited Crete the previous year. It hadn’t come as a surprise to Eve that David wasn’t keen on her working in a bar, especially as
