Lie of the Needle (A Deadly Notions Mystery)
“A bitter wind tossed the light snow into swirling flurries and made me run the last few yards from our house to Sometimes a Great Notion.
Winter was early this year. I hated these dark mornings and brief afternoons before the dark descended again. My favorite season, fall, had been late to arrive and quick to leave, like a boorish dinner guest.
On the porch in front of the shop, a merry arrangement of holly branches sat in an oversize tin watering can. Red berries on the vine wreath I’d... hung on the door peeked through the recent powdering. Once inside, I cranked up the heat, set a pot of coffee on to brew, and plugged in the string of white lights that were arranged like a three-strand necklace on Alice, the mannequin. I dressed her according to the season, and today she was sporting a 1960s holiday dress with a velvet top and a plaid taffeta skirt. I would have loved to put a fur muff on her hands, but didn’t want to catch any flak from Eleanor.MoreLess
