An Improper Death (Dr. Alexandra Gladstone Mysteries Book 2) - Plot & Excerpts
He sat alone, trying to sort through what he had just learned. His client, John Killborn, who had escaped from prison, was here in Newton. Killborn’s stepfather, whom the boy hated, was dead, and the gossip was that Killborn could have killed him. Disturbing as all of that was, the most distressing thing was that Constable Snow had been so evasive. He must have known that Killborn didn’t get on with his stepfather, yet he hadn’t mentioned it. And wouldn’t he have heard the gossip that Killborn killed the admiral? “Come now, sir, it can’t be as bad as all that, can it?” Nicholas looked up to see that it was another barmaid who had interrupted his thoughts. She was younger and prettier than the bartender’s wife who’d served him before. Her hair, pale honey reflecting light, fell to her shoulders in a careless manner, and she was fetchingly plump with generous mounds of breasts stretching the thin fabric of her dress. A smile lit her eyes and illuminated the rosy hue of her cheeks.
