Miranda returned home to find her husband dead on the floor.
She screamed when she saw him then ran and checked for a pulse, when she didn’t find one, she dialed 911.
After the call she just sat there looking at him, remembering their life together.
When the police arrived, they moved her from the floor to the sofa. Did she have any idea who might have done this? they asked.
She looked at the detective, wide eyed. “My husband had a lucrative business and three partners. Upon his death, each of us receive, a piece of his share of the pie”.

Sorry. I did read it and my response should have been “Unless she is a very good actress… there might only be three…”

I bet it was her. Indirectly accusing the partners, perhaps not as sly as she thinks. Great fun, Dawn.

Well that’s half the job done for the police. They just have to narrow it down a tad.
