He was leaning forward on a garden kneeler, yanking out weeds, surrounded by the hum of bees. He had a determined look on his deeply tanned face, as if he was trying to avoid sympathy for the trespassing greenery. That look was overtaken by a smile as he saw me approaching. He stopped and got to his feet.

The smile vanished. His brow furrowed. “Oh, Charlotte honey. What has Lorelei been sayin’?”
“She wondered if we would ever find out who murdered Anabel. I had no idea that anyone had. I thought . . . well, a horrible, tragic accident.”
I actually felt my stomach lurch. I’ve had way too much murder in my life these last two years.
“Charlotte honey, it was an accident. There’s no question about that.MoreLess
