Death In A Turkey Town: A Chloe Boston Mystery - Plot & Excerpts
So, unable to put it off, I swung by Aunt Dorothy’s house on my lunch hour and bullied mom into showing me where Aunt Dot kept her gun.The only problem with this plan—aside from upsetting my mother—was discovering that the gun appeared to be missing from the bedroom closet. For a moment I wondered if Mom was deliberately misleading me, but dismissed the idea as soon as it occurred. My mother’s voice was throbbing with indignation that I would even think that Aunt Dot could shoot anyone and she was going to prove how wrong I was. Her shock at the empty space in the closet was real. If only that counted for something, but it didn’t. Because Aunt Dot wasn’t the one who was looking genuinely shocked, nor was Althea. And my aunt—unlike Mother—is an excellent marksman and has been known to take after squirrels and gophers and other ‘pests’ that bothered her garden, so I was not so fast to dismiss the idea that she might do something dumb to ensure her daughter’s happiness.
