Dirty Tricks: A Kate Lawrence Mystery - Plot & Excerpts
Margo made her a key to the big front doors so she could come and go as she pleased, and she was the perfect guest, tidy and unobtrusive but always ready to join us for a chat, if invited. Because she was an early riser, or perhaps because the construction workers arrived at her home promptly at seven o’clock each morning, she made it a point to learn how we all liked our coffee and had mugs and napkins lined up in front of a fresh pot by the time we arrived. Unfortunately, I’d miss the coffee room chat this morning. Margo and Strutter had already done Vista View duty this week, so I needed to prepare to take my turn at the sales desk. I was reluctant to leave my warm bed, and our ginger cat Gracie was no help, pinning me snugly beneath the covers as I stole a little extra doze time. Ultimately, the snooze alarm prodded me to my feet, but it was already after 8:00 a.m. I could hear Armando’s shower running upstairs. His work schedule at TeleCom International required a good deal of international travel and lots of overtime, so he could pretty well start and end his days in the office when he chose.
