At fifty-three, after limited success with men, Moira thinks her chances of ever walking up the aisle are slim. But when recently widowed Rupert Beck takes an interest in her, she starts to dream of a future in which a devoted partner and a cosy home life are possible.
She doesn’t mind Rupert’s unusual hobby. In fact, she’s rather impressed by the model of their sleepy village, complete with train tracks, that he’s built down in the basement. But when disturbing incidents occur in real life, Moira begins to see eerie parallels with the changes that are being made to the rather too lifelike model in the basement…
The Model Partner is the fourth sinister short story in the Truly, Madly, Weirdly collection, written by award-winning author Victoria Williamson and available to purchase as an anthology.
