Strawberry Tartlets And a Dead Starlet (2016)
“Luckily, the vessel isn't moving too fast and water in the Gulf is warm. A woman gasps as the victim of the fall passes her. I narrow my eyes, trying to get a good look through the crowd in front of me. It's no use.
"Who is it?" I ask. "Can you see anything?" Presley shakes his head.
"Wait right here," he instructs me. "I'm going to figure out what's going on." I take a deep breath as Presley pushes his way through the crowd. Our evening together is turning out to be what I had hoped it wouldn'...t. A disaster. I'm no step closer to finding the killer than I was before I had set foot on the docks. The only secret unveiled tonight is that Frankie is having trouble holding down two jobs.
As the crowd moves indoors, my eyes wander around the top deck. The moon is fuller than ever, and hardly anyone is up here to enjoy it. Abandoned wine glasses are scattered on every table as well as the ground. Music is still playing, but I see the shoreline straight ahead.
A stranger walks by me, and at first I pay no attention.MoreLess
