UNFINISHED BUSINESS
by Wendy Soliman
“There you are then. Weymouth is far enough
away to put the boat—” she stood and leaned over the transom, reading the name
upside-down, “—the No Comment through
her paces. Unusual name,” she added with a lilting smile that immediately put
me on my guard.
“Kara, just so we’re clear. I am not going to take you to
Weymouth.”
THE TUXEDOED MAN by
Marcelle Dubé
A layer of frost covered
the body, obscuring the features and turning the black pants white in spots.
A half dozen people
stood looking down at the body in silence. Their flashlights barely cut through
the ice fog swirling around them, first hiding, then revealing the body. Kate
couldn’t even tell if there was a paramedic among them.
“You’re sure he’s
dead?” she asked.
CAT BURGLAR IN
TRAINING by Shelley Munro
“Tell me what?” I
asked.
My father exchanged a
doubtful glance with Ben before returning his attention to me. He rubbed his
chin, the guilty silence broken by the loud rasp of his whiskers.
“Maybe once Amber is
at school,” Hannah said, turning away to deftly flip a pancake.
The fishy stench
wasn’t my imagination.
SCENE STEALER by Elise Warner
“For a moment our eyes met; his were frightened, seeking
help. Was it my imagination gone wild? No. After all those years of teaching
elementary school, I knew this child was afraid.”
DYING ART by Shirley Wells
"Furniture had
been knocked over and there were papers everywhere. She was scared so she
called the police and they found Prue lying at the bottom of the stairs. She
was wearing a pair of pink pyjamas." Her voice cracked on that last
statement.
MURDER COMES ASHORE
by Julie Anne Lindsey
“Uh-uh. No you don’t.
You can’t tell me a toddler found an ear on the beach and look at me like I’m
the crazy one. Like this is everyday news. ‘Oh, I almost forgot. For lunch
today I found a finger in my French fries.’”
