Good, Clean Murder
““I’m terribly busy, ma’am.”
When Jane had passed through the mudroom, Jake hadn’t looked busy. He had been spread across the mudroom bench with his feet propped against the floor-to-ceiling shelves.
He had been poking at his iPhone with one hand and holding a steaming cappuccino in the other. The aroma of coffee mingled with the odor of rain boots and wool sweaters that hung around the mudroom all winter had followed Jane to the rack of velvet curtains she was steaming at the far end of the hal...l.
Marjory stood in the mudroom doorway with her arms crossed over her chest. Their loud, if obscure, conversation was as clear as day, try as Jane might to not eavesdrop.
So far Marjory had repeated the demand to “not put it off” and Jake had repeated how busy he was. It sounded as though they had already been arguing for some time before their voices rose to the point that Jane could hear them.
Jane put the steamer wand down and slid the wrinkle-free velvet curtain down to the “clean”MoreLess
