Death Overdue (Librarian Mysteries) - Plot & Excerpts
Penelope sat with us for a while, but offered little comfort. Caldwell was very quiet. Finally he said, “Sally looks good.” I had nothing to say about her looks. “She always looks good, especially when she’s behaving badly,” Penelope said with her hands wrapped over her chest. “The worse she behaves, the better she looks. It’s like she sucks energy from the people she hurts.” “So you knew she might be coming?” Caldwell asked. “I got a note from her asking me to meet her in London for dinner. Who knows why? Some whim. A little family get-together. We only have each other now that Daddy is gone and Mum is slipping away. But Sally’s never been very chummy, as you know.” “Did you know she was going to stay here?” he asked. “I didn’t think she would. I still can’t believe she’d have the audacity to stay here after what she did to you, but then why do I keep letting her surprise me?” “I’m sure she wanted it to be a surprise—for all of us. That’s why she used her friend’s name to make the reservation.
