Despite the tragedy,
Matilda grew up well cared for

and well loved by her mother's
three crime-writing sisters --

Moving regularly between aunts,

00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,400
Matilda especially enjoyed
living above

crime bookshop, Murder Ink.
24
00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:32,840
At night, she would
sneak downstairs,

00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:37,800
take a book at random, and read
by torchlight until dawn.
26
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:39,280
From Allingham to Zimler,

and every author in between,
28
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,000
Matilda's childhood
was spent devouring

her aunt's library
of crime fiction.
30
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,720
So it was no surprise when,
aged 18,
31
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,240
Matilda left her childhood home
of Wildemarsh

However, the mystery
of her mother's disappearance

never left her.
36
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,240
How and why she vanished,
and who -- if anyone --

was responsible,
has never been established.
38
00:02:08,640 --> 00:02:10,640
And as Matilda
returned to Wildemarsh
39
00:02:10,640 --> 00:02:13,160
in her mother's beloved car,
40
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:17,640
she pondered the few
known facts of the case --

The haiku
scribbled in her mother's hand

of Matilda's nursery.

of her mother's car.

discovered in her
mother's safe deposit box.
47
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,840
All of these things might
or might not be connected...

...or may or may not lead
to the solving of the riddle
49

that has haunted Matilda
since childhood.

00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:55,600

on Matilda Stone,

anything to do with his death.

to speak to Matilda,
