Dan Peterson : What clinched it was a schoolboy howler. The gun was in the right hand. But Ben Gurdie is left handed.
DCI Tom Barnaby : How did you know that?
Dan Peterson : He was a manual worker. The left hand has got the calluses and harder skin. That was the hand he used most. Well, it's easy to confirm it with his wife.
DCI Tom Barnaby : So whoever wanted to make it look like a suicide put the gun in the wrong hand.
Dan Peterson : You're dealing with a murder.
DCI Tom Barnaby : I was pretty sure.
Sgt. Gavin Troy : You never said.
DCI Tom Barnaby : Well, it didn't add up, did it, Troy?

Sgt. Gavin Troy : [as they leave Linda Wagstaff's house] Perhaps you shouldn't have mentioned that photograph. It really clammed her up.
DCI Tom Barnaby : I'm aware of that.
Sgt. Gavin Troy : You think that was her lover?
DCI Tom Barnaby : Yeah, quite probably.
Sgt. Gavin Troy : Amazing, isn't it? Him fancying her?
DCI Tom Barnaby : Yeah, I daresay she didn't always look like that. People do change as they get older, Troy. Even you.
Sgt. Gavin Troy : Yeah, I suppose so.
