A Drunkard's Path
A Drunkard's Path
“We had already decided that Kennette would stay with me in the guest room and Jesse would take the pullout sofa in Eleanor’s office, where Kennette had been sleeping. Oliver went to sleep on the couch in the living room, and Eleanor went to her room with Barney.
By midnight the house was dark and quiet. Kennette was lightly snoring beside me and I was staring at the ceiling. How had Sandra ended up in the river right beside this house? The only logical explanation was that she had come to see someone, and the only someone she would have come to see was Oliver.
I went over every detail of the evening but nothing was unusual until Kennette disappeared. Then I remembered something. It was small and probably meaningless but I had to check.
I got out of bed as quietly as I could, though I had a feeling I could have jumped up and down and not woken Kennette. It was odd that she could sleep so peacefully when there was a killer on the loose.
I crept into the hallway and noticed that the door... to Eleanor’s office was open.MoreLess
