OKAY shit just hit the fan

Really good so far, story has me hook line & sinker!
One nitpick though - some of the contemporary language is immersion-breaking i.e. Martha describes Lidia North as 'Milquetoast', which originated in a comic strip from the 1920s.

I think in the court scene, Martha should have let Dr Page's ego fight with the claim Sally brings after the death is found to be accidental, like
'you dare contradict my disposition? Don't you know who I am?! As a big-shot Harvard-educated Medical scholar I will not bother bandying words with the likes of you!'
