Frame Change: a Nina Bannister Mystery (The Nina Bannister Mysteries book 5)
“Carol Walker slipped into her life like a well-oiled bespectacled little piston, which chugged away quietly and efficiently as it worked within the machine that was daily life in Bay St. Lucy.
She took possession of the couch and made a bed of it, having at least six inches of upholstery to spare after stretching out her slightly more than five-foot frame.
She somehow made friends with Furl, an astonishing feat, but one which could not be doubted after seeing the animal stretched out and purrin...g on her lap as she sat mornings with Nina on the deck above the beach, chatting about this and that, softly scratching cat dorsal hair with her small white fingers.
She made friends also with Signor and Signora Bagatelli, who, during her first few morning visits to their bakery, behaved in a manner so polite and courteous as to evince deep mistrust; but who, after slightly more than a week’s time and five trips’ worth of poppy seed bagels, began to ignore her completely as they shouted insults at each other and threw up their hands in the despairing gestures that were their morning routine.MoreLess
