The Cluttered Corpse
“Make time to see friends.12I protested to Pepper when she showed up on Bell Street in front of the Dingwalls’ less than five minutes later. I was getting into the Miata after failing to calm either Kevin or his mother.“Of course I didn’t threaten to kill him and you know that. So don’t pretend.” Must have been the sneer on her face that brought out my next comment. “Surely you can tell this boy is not quite normal, Pepper.”She was dressed to impress this Monday. Except for her unexpected weeken...d garb, Pepper always does her detective thing dressed like someone who’s just stepped out of a fashion shoot. Today she had on a black-and-white print jacket, sort of a seventies vibe with a bit of sheen to it, and a pair of very stylish black “city” shorts to her knees. She had the legs for them and had obviously spent time at the tanning salon. She was carrying a large glossy purse and stood a bit taller than usual in a pair of open-toed leather shoes with high cork soles. You had to be tall and whippet-thin to pull off city shorts and a jacket like that.MoreLess
