Killing Cupid (A Jaine Austen Mystery)
“I drove home with the car heater on, vowing to never again get in a tiff with a pair of squirrels.
They may look cute, but trust me, they don’t fight fair.
At last I arrived at my duplex and was heading up the front path to my apartment, practically naked from the waist down, my thighs on view for all the world to see, when I looked up and saw someone at my front door.
Oh, hell. It was one of the homicide detectives. The skinny one with the Adam’s apple.
“Hello, Ms. Austen,” he said, making a v...aliant effort not to stare at my thighs, which by now were sprouting goose bumps the size of popcorn.
“Excuse the way I look,” I managed to say. “I ... um ... lost my pants.”
“So I see.”
“Yes, I gave them to a needy homeless person.”
“How generous of you,” he said, shooting me a dubious look. Then he cleared his throat, getting down to business. “I need to talk to you.”
Uh-oh. I didn’t like the sound of that.
At which point, his phone rang. He snapped it open, saying, “Detective Willis here.”MoreLess
