Dead In The Water (Olivia Grant Mysteries Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
Chaz didn't appear at all, and William sat stiffly, his lips barely opening sufficiently to put food inside. Alice's face seemed flushed, her eyes red, the flesh around them swollen, and Elizabeth touched almost nothing on her plate and excused herself before dessert. Jason behaved somewhat normally, trying to get a conversation going, but only Beryl responded to him, and he finally gave it up. I felt a little guilty for not making the mealtime pleasant, but my brain refused to cooperate. What could I say? "Guess what, everyone, I think Noreen planned to marry another old man for his money"? Or how about this one: "By the way, Elizabeth told me Chaz raped her, and now William and Aunt Alice heard that and think it's true"? Instead, my thoughts centered on what Alice must be feeling, and I wondered if she'd confronted Elizabeth with what she'd heard. Poor Elizabeth. She'd told me she didn't want anyone else to know about that evening with Chaz, especially her mother.
