I wasn’t happy with “underway” so I googled it. This is what I found from Grammarist :-
Is it underway or under way?
Under way is conventionally two words when it functions as an adverb or a predicate adjective (E.g., “The ship voyage is under way.”). It is usually one word, underway, when it is an adjective preceding its noun (E.g., “The underway voyage was interrupted.”).
So I was right to be unhappy ????
Good point made above about the phone; I’d forgotten that. How did it get broken?
Thank you for all your comments. Glad you’re enjoying it. I’ve checked with the dictionaries I use and underway seems to be acceptable here. Collins only list the underway form: https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/underway and this site has some interesting comments: https://www.grammarphobia.com/blog/2018/02/underway-or-under-way.html Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
Intriguing. Clearly Simons body was “Interferred” with by someone I feel
I won’t comment in case I spoil it.
I’m intrigued – everyone seems suspicious! I like the reference to Valley of Lies :-). Feel like I know the area so well now!
That’s great to hear.
Things are getting stranger and stranger. A real mystery? What was Simon’s cause of death? Certainly his phone didn’t get broken in his fall if it was alongside him and not under him. Was he covered with a thermal blanket when found? So many unanswered questions. Can’t wait for the next installment.
