Book Fair And Foul (Ashton Corners Book Club) - Plot & Excerpts
BATTERED TO DEATH—GAYLE TRENT Lizzie stepped out her front door and took a deep breath. Another glorious day about to begin. It felt more like spring than fall if there was a discernable difference beyond the hours the sun rose and set, and the colors of the flowers. She set off at a slow jog along Sidcup Street until she came to the corner. She’d planned a run toward the far side of town for a change but the promise of a spectacular sunrise along the Tallapoosa River drew her in that direction. By the time she reached the turnoff into Glendale Park, the sky had gone through a pattern of pinks into a clear blue. She slowed her pace slightly along the path in the woods, always on the lookout for stray sticks that eager dogs had dropped without concern for the runners. She came upon a large one and rather than jump it, she stopped and threw it aside. Someone else might not be so observant and could easily trip over it. Coming out of the park, she exchanged waves with another early morning jogger, an older man who Lizzie saw on occasion, and thought she’d also spotted him behind the counter in the Walgreens pharmacy.
