Introducing Dead Man's Doll!
Christmas blooms in
Sugarwood in the form of a brightly lit tree in town square, colourful
ornaments, and a snowstorm. It’s just Audra Clemmings’ luck that she literally
stumbles over the local butcher in Miss Lavinia’s shop. Then a witch doctor
arrives in town. Can Audra solve the mystery before the killer turns their
sights on her?
Here's a little snippet!
As I grabbed my red parka from the closet, I smiled. The colour never failed to give me a lift, so I paired it with my favourite red hat and black gloves. I left Drake home to babysit Rex who, as predicted, fell asleep on the bed and still hadn’t returned to the couch. I was at the deli before I realized I could’ve taken the key and the car and then he’d be stuck there. Darn it! I was such a creature of habit.
At nine o’clock on
the dot, I set a large black coffee on Officer Grant’s desk and asked, “Did you
find out who owns that token?”
He scratched the
stubble on his chin as he reached for the cup.
I moved it out of
his reach. “Not so fast. I want answers.”
“And I want
coffee,” he said, meeting my gaze. “If you think we’re at an impasse, keep in
mind I’m the one with the gun and the handcuffs.”
“Good thing I’m
not wearing my pajamas then.” The words sounded better in my head than they did
aloud.
A nearby officer
smirked.
“Get your mind out
of the gutter, Jacobs,” Officer Grant snapped. “Last time I arrested her, she
was wearing her pajamas out in public.”
Handing him the
coffee before he bit anyone, I decided to consider it my good deed for the day.
I sat across from him and asked, “So?”
He sipped the
coffee. “Needs cream.”
“You’re welcome.”
