The Armchair Detective On Holiday: Series One Read online

  OLD TOM: Without a doubt. In fact, I think it was seeing them in that cave – a familiar smuggling haunt for him – that pushed him over the edge. However, I believe that was many days later. Mad Jack knew nothing of the diamond and by the time he visited the cave, Sarah Quinn must have spirited The Star away.

  TRENCH: Yes, and Mad Jack then thought the cave was cursed. That’s why he, probably, never told the police at the time.

  OLD TOM: Well summed up, dear Trench. And even the name of the Cornish village was also a clue – albeit an unintentional one.

  TRENCH: Fisherman’s Cove?

  OLD TOM: Substitute the ‘o’ for an ‘a’.

  TRENCH: Of course, ‘Fisherman’s Cave’… So, did the Armchair Detective enjoy being on holiday?

  OLD TOM: It had its moments. Right, I’m parched – and it’s your turn to make a cup of tea.

  TRENCH: Are you sure?

  OLD TOM: Come on – chop, chop young man. You’re not on holiday now, you know!
