Cut Off His Tale: a Hollis Grant Mystery
““In my professional opinion, you’re fit to drive home if you drive slowly. Take extra care; shock affects your reflexes. I’ll follow.” At the manse, an ugly pile of red brick next to St. Mark’s, Hollis disarmed the security system on the wall inside the back door. It had amused Paul to use chapter twenty, verse fifteen of the book of Exodus, the commandment, “Thou shalt not steal”, for the four digit code number.
MacTee, Hollis’s golden retriever, noted for his beauty, not his brains, welcomed ...them to the cheery yellow kitchen, an oasis in a dismal house. Hollis had defied the church manse committee and their choice of institutional green for the kitchen and repainted it. Besides hanging ferns and blooming cyclamen, two of her own large acrylic paintings of masses of exuberant oversized flowers added colour and joy to the room.
The rest of the house, with the exception of two rooms—her study, where she’d supplied her own white wicker furniture and glowing paintings, and Paul’s private bedroom and office—had been furnished and decorated by the manse property committee.MoreLess
