  50. About the Author

Rachel told me, while she had me handcuffed to the bed, that she had full access to my emails, messages and Facebook, because she had some software installed on Tilly’s machine to record keystrokes. She knew which underwear I’d bought for Harriet from an old email receipt in my inbox. She broke in and stole it. Maybe she planned to wear it herself. She knew everything about me.

Of course, I know now that it was her who went to see Karen. Remember how I texted you about slagging Karen off because of my work for her? The police think that maybe she killed Karen as a kind of offering to me because I was pissed off with her. Like a cat bringing a dead mouse to its owner. She told Karen that she was my girlfriend. Karen didn’t know what you look like, so Victor told me you had visited her.

The police reckon she went to see Karen twice. The first time was to have a go at her about the website work. I guess she must have decided Karen wouldn’t call me. In fact, Karen texted me but Rachel deleted it. That was the night I took the sleeping pills.

Moseley says Rachel got the heroin from one of Henry’s drug dealer mates and, the second time she went round, she gave Karen the same muscle relaxant she gave me, then injected her. The coroner didn’t bother looking for anything like that at first because it seemed obvious she’d died of a smack overdose. Moseley said that even though they reckon Rachel originally killed Karen as an offering to me, she soon saw the opportunity to, well, kill two birds with one stone. Get rid of Karen and frame you. So she put the heroin in your suit pocket when she stayed at my flat. I suppose she didn’t know I would find it. Maybe she planned to call the police herself once she’d planted the false evidence.

It’s hard to say how precisely Rachel planned everything. Some of the things that led me to suspect you were, I thought originally, coincidence. Like you saying that if you were going to murder someone you’d do it via a fake drug OD. But now I know that you said the same thing to Tilly, when you emailed her about that awful dinner party with Sasha. Of course, Rachel had access to all Tilly’s messages too.
