The Last Resort (A Kate Jasper Mystery)
“Her sprint took her into the lobby and behind the registration desk, where she smiled frantically at the group of good-sized people who had gathered there. The people in front of the desk were a mixed group of men, women and teenagers whose only similarity was size. Each member of the group weighed somewhere in the range of pleasantly plump to dangerously obese. Fran appeared oblivious to the presence of Officers Guerrero and Dempster, who had followed her behind the desk. She opened her mouth ...to address the crowd.
But Fran couldn’t ignore the police any longer when Officer Guerrero grabbed her arm. In a last-ditch effort, she mouthed some polite words to the group, words that I couldn’t hear clearly through the glass doors, and then allowed herself to be led back to the dining hall. Everyone at the suspects’ table watched as she returned. Terry shook his head in disgust. At the police, I assumed. Ruth’s eyes looked worried despite Eli’s presence.
