The Cottage On the Corner (2014)
“Curtains opened wide in the living room so that Max could see straight into the house, front door closed tight, porch light on. If someone had been inside, it wasn’t obvious. No sign of any of the windows being jimmied. The front and back doors were both still intact, their locks functioning properly.
If anyone else had called to say she’d found a key on the floor and thought someone might be hiding in her attic, Max probably would have assumed an overly wild imagination was at work. He’d taken... Charlotte seriously. He hadn’t even bothered going to the office after dropping Zuzu off at Ida’s. He’d thrown on his uniform and headed to Charlotte’s house.
He stood on the sidewalk in front of the house and looked up at the second-floor dormer window. Nothing moved. No one peered out from behind the gauzy curtain. Not that he’d thought anyone would. If he were hiding in some unsuspecting woman’s house, he wouldn’t be peering out at the world while he was doing it.
He wouldn’t have left a key in the middle of the floor, either.MoreLess
