[i]Mary lay motionless on her bed, her crimson locks spread like a macabre halo around her head. Clad in nothing but lingerie, her body was a stark contrast to the innocence of the novels she adored. The only company she had in her final moments was the book she was reading, its pages forever frozen in time, a silent witness to her demise. A pair of delicate glasses were placed meticulously atop the open book, evidently belonging to the victim, as if mocking Mary's passion for literature. Each lens reflected the cold, unforgiving truth of her fate.[/i]

That paints such a mysterious picture. If wearing lingerie she probably had expected company. It's not often casual wear. But if the book was the only company there, the killer did not count. So either the killer was not the expected company or there was no killer. But if there was no killer, then why place the glasses in mockery?
Perhaps the killer was herself and she decided to look beautiful as she left the world. Or perhaps a jealous rival pushed too far? Or maybe just a murderous stranger happening upon a chance to sate their wicked addiction? But the last seems unlikely to be personal enough to place the glasses.
