“Put that slice of beautifully decorated home-made coffee and walnut cake with chocolate icing and a cherry on top down now,” our hero, the defrocked priest, screamed dramatically in the pitch of C as he burst into the room like a bat out of heaven, proclaiming triumphantly, “I can now reveal the identity of the Primrose Hill Poisoner!”

cake, religion, upmarket location, murder mystery - this piece has it all!

Thanks! And thanks for the cherry. Can't help reflecting on the irony of writing a sentence of rubbish and getting a cherry while my 3,000 word epic that I slaved over gets overlooked! Ah well, this the way of the world as my old gran used to say.

This is very funny alex. Don't worry about the cherry irony, it's a strange old world

Thanks very much. I have to now retract my bitterness about cherries as I did get one after all. So that'll teach me to keep my mouth shut... hopefully.
