Murder Has Nine Lives (2016)
“Once again, I slept in, jolted to consciousness at 10:30 by the phone ringing at my bedside.
I picked it up to hear Kandi’s excited voice.
“Guess what, hon? I’ve got the most fantastic news!”
“What is it?” I asked, shoving Prozac’s tail from my nose.
“I’ll tell you all about it at lunch. Meet me at the Westside Tavern at noon. Oops. Gotta run. The cockroach is having a hissy fit.”
I assumed that the cockroach to whom she referred was the lead insect on Kandi’s show, Beanie & the Cockroach. Leav...ing Kandi to her cockroach wrangling, I hung up and turned to Prozac, who was staring listlessly at a pair of panty hose I’d left out on the bed for her.
To think there was a time I found these playthings amusing.
“Good morning, honey,” I said, stroking her behind her ears. “How’d you like some nice human tuna for breakfast?”
Human tuna—two words that normally sent her into a feeding frenzy. But today? Nada. Zippo. Zilch.
Hustling to the kitchen, I scooped some Bumble Bee into her bowl, praying she’d show some interest.MoreLess
