An Open Window (Richard and Amelia Patton) by Roger Ormerod
As Amelia Patton approaches a caravan parked in their usual spot, it explodes, killing the woman inside.
As she recovers in a hospital near the Welsh coast, she learns that she is the residual legatee in her uncle's will.
As she cannot attend the reading herself, her husband, ex-Detective Inspector Richard Patton, drives to the Midlands on her behalf.
He finds that the word `residual' can be extremely deceptive, and that the will is bound to provoke trouble between the children of Amelia's eccentric uncle, Walter Mann, who died just two days after signing the new will.
Richard is intrigued by this: Walter had become a virtual recluse and locked himself away in his rooms.
But when he was found, having fallen from the third-story window and through the roof of his conservatory, the key for the door was on its chain around his neck.
Was it suicide?
And was the caravan explosion meant for Amelia ?
Roger Ormerod is the author of over twenty novels including A Shot At Nothing, Third Time Fatal, The Key to the Case and The Night She Died.
