The Cottage Swap

You traded your city apartment for two weeks in a honey-stone cottage in Little Wendlebury, a sleepy village in the English Cotswolds, and on your first morning the back door came off in your hand. By the third morning you have learned that the owner left a key with the neighbor, and that the neighbor, Hugh Denholm, is a joiner who scowls at loose hinges as if they insulted him personally.
