Christmas Carol Murder (A Lucy Stone Mystery) - Plot & Excerpts
The house was empty, except for Libby the Lab, who gave her a perfunctory greeting before turning to her main interest, which was sniffing at the grocery bags Lucy had set on the floor. She found the one with the chicken in a matter of seconds and Lucy quickly grabbed it and hoisted it on to the kitchen counter. “Okay,” she told the dog. “I know it’s hard, all this food and nothing for you.” Libby sat on her haunches and stared at her with her big brown eyes. “I’ll play the game if you insist,” she seemed to be saying, “even though we both know I’m the boss around here.” Lucy obediently began digging around in the grocery bags until she found the bag of beef jerky treats and gave a couple to Libby, who wolfed them down. “That’s all, now,” she said, in a firm tone, and the dog slouched off to settle down on her bed. There she set her chin on her paws and watched with interest as Lucy put the groceries away. That chore done, she popped a chicken and some sweet potatoes in the oven, then began unloading the dishwasher.
