EXCERPT
Harper pointed and brushed her long, dark hair off her shoulder.
A slender woman, eyes open and sightless, lay on her back beneath an owl box. A
pool of blood had formed around her head in the soft earth. Beside her, a
chihuahua barked at us hysterically.
Bile rose in my throat. I pressed the back of my hand to my mouth. I thought I’d
been prepared. But nothing can really prepare you for sudden death.
“Do you think she tripped and fell?” Harper said, pointing to the rock
half-hidden beneath Bernadette’s spill of hair.
“Maybe,” I croaked, my mouth dry. Bruises darkened the skin above the collar of
her cocktail dress, and there was a reddish mark on her face. They didn’t look
like they’d come from a fall. “Did you call the police?”
“Of course I did. They’ll be here any minute. I just…” She pressed her hands to
her stomach. “It’s Bernadette, one of Adele’s oldest friends, her bridesmaid.”
Lead weighted my gut. This was awful. Worse than awful. How were we going to
tell Adele?
