Cereal Box Mystery (2011)
“Darden’s house was on a quiet street not far from Main Street. The house had a small porch, and flowers grew in pots on either side of the front steps.
When he opened the door, Mr. Darden looked surprised. “What are you doing here?” he asked.
“We’d like to ask you a few more questions about the robbery at Antique Treasures,” Henry said.
David Darden glanced over his shoulder, then quickly stepped out onto the porch, closing the door behind him. “What do you want to know?” he said.
“Do you know anyone named Marvin Map?” Jessie asked.
“No!” Mr. Darden said. He hesitated and then said, “Except what I read about him in the newspaper, of course.”
“Why didn’t you want to give your name and address to Mr. Bellows for the police?” Jessie went on.
Mr. Darden said, “Shhh, keep your voice down.” He looked over his shoulder again.
“And why haven’t you been back to buy a ring like you said you would?” Benny demanded.
“Shhh!” Mr. Darden said sharply. Then he said, “Will you please go away!”
