Preface:
Becky Bloomwood suspects her husband, Luke, and his ex-girlfriend, Venetia (also her new obstetrician) are starting to have an affair. Becky hires a private detective to investigate. She later calls to cancel the investigation after realizing it's ridiculous. But she still suspects the detectives are following them around.
Excerpt (page 216):
"My mobile rings just as we reach the gates of our block, and I jump a mile. That timing is too coincidental. It'll be the private detective, telling me he's in the boot of the car. Or he's in the building opposite, with a sniper rifle aimed at Luke...
Stop it. I didn't hire an assassin. It's fine."
That made my day.
