       Prologue

       Louise

      I thought nothing of it, the first time the doorbell rang.

      Parcel delivery guy – bound to be. It was that time of the evening. School run done, supper running late. They just want to catch you at home, don’t they? Don’t care if the timing’s terrible, up to your elbows in kids and cooking. Not their problem.

      I did a quick mental scan through my recent purchases.
