The Monet Murders (2012)
“Running the cash register with one arm in a sling was a challenge. Seeing my predicament, several of the customers wrapped their own purchases, acting as if they enjoyed helping me and hearing all about the vandalized window and my surgery. Around noon, I found time to call the two women who were interested in design work, got directions to their homes, and made appointments for the second week in January.
Throughout the day, I kept checking my watch. Two. Two-thirty. Three. Three-thirty. W...here was Lee? At four, I paced around the tables to work off my anxiety. In this age of casual hooking up, should I be so worried?
Yes, I should. I’d encouraged Lee to go to Paulo. Well, if not encouraged exactly, I definitely hadn’t discouraged her. I’d even loaned her my car, for Pete’s sake. And what did I know about Paulo except that he was Jamaican and well mannered and gifted? Had the gifted part swayed me?
Calm down, you’re not the girl’s mother.MoreLess
