Some more feed back from readers...

 Here is some feed back from readers of "Death Behind the Headlines". With regard to the query about a porridge saucepan; Porridge saucepans were more available in the 1980s, most hardware and kitchen shops had them. A porridge saucepan might also be known as a "bain marie", because you can make more exciting things in them than porridge; for instance melt chocolate and make interesting sauces. The "bad guys" leave all of us guessing; they have their agenda, but keep it close. That is how they get away with it!

  It's February 1986 and freelance photojournalist Margery Moore lives in the shadow of the mysterious and legendary Glebe Mound, by the ruins of the old priory in Great Havell. A stroppy detective from Scotland Yard is enlisted by the mayor to assist the local police to probe two sudden deaths. Are the two people victims of the supernatural, ancient "curse of the mound"?   Are the stories behind the local newspaper's headlines able to offer a satisfactory explanation? Do the two coroner's inquests throw light on everything?

Although these fables angered historians, they were unable dispel them.
