The Silence of Murder (2011)
“I pace the living room, trying to come up with an explanation for those thousand-dollar checks. If Rita did have an affair with Coach, who’s she seeing now? I never ask. I never want to know.
I have to do something, so I search Jeremy’s room for his batting gloves. Then I check Rita’s room for her old high school yearbooks.
Zilch. Nothing.
After another restless hour, I stretch out on the couch to see if I can catch a few minutes’ sleep. But when I shut my eyes, I see Caroline Johnson standing ...at the window, watching. Or I see Coach Johnson curled up on the barn floor.
A few minutes before six, I can’t wait a second longer. I have to call Raymond and tell him about the new evidence.
The phone rings and rings until the answering machine picks up. While I’m waiting for the beep, I try to figure out how to word what I want to say.
But before I can leave my message, Raymond answers. “Hello?”
“Raymond?” The machine finishes telling me to leave a message, then squawks out a beep.MoreLess
