(Also, the police were kinda mean, and now everyone thinks he’s a serial killer.) Ray’s just a thirtysomething graphic designer with a broken heart who doesn’t much like his life right now.Īnd he’s already having nightmares about the whole thing, come on. If this was your classic Cotswolds murder mystery (it’s not) and Ray was an amateur detective (he isn’t) then when he stumbles across something unexpected under his bedroom floor, he’d investigate the hell out of it.
