A Crusty Murder
“Keeping track of sales and supplies was enough to make my tired brain swim. The murder of my landlady, the man of my dreams lurking about in the dark, and Detective Graham stopping by at the least opportune moment, left my head pounding and my temper short.

“I’m sorry I snapped at you. It was rude of me,” I said.MoreLess
