The Little Victim
The Little Victim | R. T. Raichev
1 post
It promised to be the perfect holiday every modern convenience, exotic terraced gardens complete with an 'English' folly, thirty-eight varieties of ice-cream, cocktails with names like 'Widow's Wink' and 'Mumbay Mule'. Antonia and Hugh Payne never seriously imagined they would encounter anything worse than extravagance in this idyllic setting... But an uninvited guest at the garden party given in their honour makes Antonia Darcy his confidante. Not only does he claim to have witnessed the strangling of beautiful, wayward Marigold Leighton, he also insists it was their host Roman Songhera, the 'uncrowned king of Goa', who had committed the murder. 'You are the kind of woman who lets her imagination run riot', the Hon. Mrs Depleche warns Antonia - but then the murder witness mysteriously disappears and later turns up dead. And so, rather reluctantly, Antonia and Major Payne decide to set aside their pleasure-filled days, and investigate. Praise for R.T. Raichev's Previous Novels 'Fascinating and surreal.' Lady Antonia Fraser 'Clever and complex.' Francis Wyndham 'Splendidly oldfashioned sleuthery ... skilfully probes the surface smoothness of country houses ...couldn't put it down.' Hugh Massingberd 'This auspicious first in a new mystery series from Raichev... Agatha Christie fans will find much to like in this traditional whodunit.' Publishers Weekly

gradcat @EadieB By the way, Eadie...not to be too big of a nag, but did you check your email today? 📲 5y
gradcat @Andrew65 Hi there, Andrew. How are you feeling? 5y
Andrew65 @gradcat Today not been the best day, but not the worst either. Getting by. Endoscopy on Saturday and then ultrasound the following Saturday. Been a bit improved recently (until dip today) but have to be off acid reducing medication this week ready for the test on Saturday and leading to a few issues today. But hey life goes on 😊 School keeping me busy which helps during the day. Losing weight but that‘s because eradicated most fats from diet. 5y
Andrew65 @gradcat Thanks for asking. 😊👍 5y
EadieB @gradcat I forgot my password to get into my mail so I need to find where I wrote it down. 5y
Andrew65 @EadieB Don‘t you hate passwords! 5y
EadieB @Andrew65 I'm so tired of passwords. I have to change them all the time and I can't remember where and if I wrote it down and which words I capitalized. Now I can't get my mail. 5y
gradcat @Andrew65 First, I can‘t believe they do those tests on the weekend, but I‘m betting that‘s good for you—keep you from having to miss teaching, right? Second, you have to stop the acid reducers? Is that so that they can better tell how bad/good it is? I don‘t remember having to do that, but I can very well understand that stopping those meds would cause some irritation. Did the docs tell you to eliminate fats? Just curious...your docs may be ⬇️ 5y
gradcat @Andrew65 ⬆️ Cont. slightly ahead of ours. I read abstracts on gastro problems, and very often the cutting-edge stuff is coming from over there. I‘m really hoping they identify and then fix the problem for you. I‘ll be thinking of you and hoping for speedy recovery! 5y
Andrew65 @EadieB I‘m forever having to reset my hotmail password! 5y
EadieB @Andrew65 I guess I will have to delete my mail account and set up a new one. 5y
Andrew65 @gradcat Thanks 😊 I‘ve been trying to reduce my cholesterol levels and saturated fats (genetics) but seemed as after eating chips / fries pains seemed to be worse. Could be wrong in this and could be coincidence but since eliminating Chips and higher fat foods pains eased. Of course of gall stones mat just be in a lull period. Reading online seemed to indicating reducing high fat foods and processed food, both lead to 👇 (edited) 5y
gradcat @EadieB Well...isn‘t this a bit of a mess? 😂🤣😂 I sent you a couple of ebooks for your birthday featuring my favorite detective (I seriously want to marry him), but I‘m pretty sure you have to get into your email to retrieve them. Whoops! 😂😂 Let me know if you don‘t get them, and I‘ll see what I can do on this end. Sorry! 5y
EadieB @gradcat I'm setting up a new mail account so I'll let you know if I succeed. I have to write down all the settings as I always mess it up. 5y
Andrew65 @gradcat 👆higher levels of bile being released that can increase pain levels. More intense biliary colic with higher bile levels released. To be ho nest willing to try anything! Could be following myself because at moment biliary colic and gall stones is only a hypothesis. 5y
Andrew65 @EadieB Can‘t you just hit the forgotten password option (if one) to reset password? 5y
EadieB @Andrew65 Didn't get that option. Just said to check my settings. 5y
Andrew65 @gradcat Told to stop meds as gives a clearer view of what‘s happening. (edited) 5y
Andrew65 @EadieB That‘s a shame. 5y
gradcat @Andrew65 Oh, I really don‘t like those tests that you‘re having, but really it‘s the colonoscopy I truly hate. None of it hurts, so don‘t worry about that if you haven‘t gone through this before—it‘s just the prep that I hate. I hope you can get some relief, and very soon...I‘d hate for this to linger while you‘re now back at school. 😟 5y
Andrew65 @gradcat Colonoscopy not great, but then neither is endoscopy but got to be got through. Had both of these before. 5y
gradcat @EadieB Ok, Eadie, keep me posted and I‘ll check back with Amazon to change your address if need be. I should have just gotten your address and sent you regular books, but I didn‘t have your address and I didn‘t want to miss your birthday. That‘s what I get for doing everything at the last minute! 5y
EadieB @gradcat The address will be the same as I am only changing the password. 5y
gradcat @Andrew65 Well, at least you know what you‘re in for. Good luck with all of it...I hate these types of problems, but mine started when I was 16... so I guess I‘m used to it (sort of). Take care of yourself—eating right will probably go a long way to helping you, no matter what it is. ♥️ 5y
Andrew65 Thanks will let you know how it goes. 💓 @gradcat Always had digestive issues of some kind from teenage years and regularly suffer from IBS. (edited) 5y
gradcat @EadieB Oh? Okay, I just misunderstood. I hope you‘re able to retrieve them. You read so quickly that I thought you might like to jump into another series! 🚨 🚨 🚨 #seriessquad 😂 5y
gradcat @Andrew65 Okay, please do. I‘ll be thinking about you. 5y
gradcat @Andrew65 & @EadieB I‘m going to get supper...will check back later. It‘s so nice chatting with you two—check out the wordy wordiness above!! 😂 5y
Andrew65 @gradcat Hope supper was good, always good to chat. 😊 5y
EadieB @gradcat I got my email fixed. I had to contact Comcast and they reset my password. I got the ebooks you sent me from Amazon. I did not open them as I have already read all the books in this series. Thanks so much as it is the thought that counts. Maybe you can contact Amazon and they will credit you. 5y
gradcat @EadieB Oh, I‘m so sorry! I tried so hard to find something you hadn‘t yet read—I even looked back at your posts! I‘m sorry you had to go through all of that trouble...are you sure there‘s nothing else you would like? Again, sorry 😐 5y
gradcat @Andrew65 Backatcha! 5y
EadieB @gradcat Can‘t think of anything at the moment and I hope you can get your money back. Thanks so much for the thought! 5y
gradcat No problem, Eadie...I just regret that you had to go through that ridiculous process. ♥️ 5y
Andrew65 @gradcat I‘m intrigued, what Series was it? @EadieB 5y
