Louisiana Longshot (A Miss Fortune Mystery, book 1)
“Maybe it had been too much excitement, or more likely, too much coffee, but either way, sleep did not come. Finally, I decided I’d grab my book and read myself into slumber.
I jumped out of bed and headed over to the desk, where I’d left my book that afternoon. As I reached for it, I knocked the stack of envelopes containing Marge’s unmailed letters onto the floor. The rubber band broke against the hardwood floor and they scattered.
Sighing, I bent over to pick them up. As I reached for one tha...t had slid under the edge of the bed, I saw pen marks on the front of the envelope that none of the others had. I straightened up and studied the marks. It was some sort of drawing, but didn’t look like anything recognizable. Then I realized I was holding the envelope upside down. When I turned it around, it was all too clear.
It was a sketch of a woman’s face. Clean simple lines, no bigger than a quarter. And a single tear on the woman’s cheek. I stacked the rest of the envelopes on the desk and crawled in bed with my book and the envelope with the drawing, wondering if this one was different for a reason.MoreLess
