Murder on the Express
He saw her alone in the compartment and went in.
She was exquisitely beautiful, young and naïve. Her diamond necklace, those earrings and that fur coat would sell for ten year’s rent. He’ll take them in the tunnel.
He was handsome with a charming smile and looking for company on a long journey, she thought. Something was wrong, a premonition and itch in her new Louboutin stilettos.
The train rattled into the darkness.
At her stop, she wiped the blood from her shoe. Kissed his forehead above the blooded hole. “Goodbye,” she laughed, “what a shame.”

Oh! What a delightful switcharoo! I love the description of her, right down to the Louboutin stilettos.

Yes, I wonder who was the worst of the two.

He was definitely the worse of the two because he was incompetent. In murder, that’s a mortal sin!

His intention was theft and he paid the ultimate price for his incompetence – me thinks.

Perhaps a not crime of passion, the stiletto hole in the forehead may give him a clue.

somehow I had the feeling this might turn on him. The set-up just looked too easy. I wonder if she cleaned HIS wallet before leaving the train?
