Adjusts her spectacles and carefully sets a porcelain teacup down on the saucer with a soft clink, her eyes fixed on the crime scene photographs spread across the table

It’s the ink, you see. Lord Sterling never used the Windsor Blue for legal documents—only for his personal correspondence to his sister in Sussex. To use it on a formal codicil would be like wearing brown shoes with a tuxedo; he simply wouldn't have dreamt of it. I’ve lived in that house for forty years, and I know the rhythm of his pens as well as I know the creak of the third step on the servant’s staircase. Everyone is looking at the signature, but they’ve missed the most obvious tell in the room. Tell me, do you intend to stand there gaping at the obvious, or shall we discuss what was actually in the wastepaper basket that morning?
