Kiss The Girls And Make Them Die - Plot & Excerpts
Elizabeth sat in a straight chair beside an air conditioner which leaked water beneath her feet. The men in the room were compulsive cigarette smokers; the women remained quiet during the first day of the trial, then opened up with the droning humdrum mouth-noises one hears at a quilting bee: “Have you seen Edna’s little girl? My, hasn’t she grown?” What the hell did you expect? thought Liza. If the child didn’t grow you’d have a midget, then you’d really have something to talk about. The woman had biceps as big as a man’s thigh; her elbows dimpled the cylinders of fat which hung from her shoulders. It was not the woman’s appearance, but her function in the trial which aroused Liza’s hostility. She and her husband ran a grocery-gas-hunter’s supply store on the highway about four miles from Dan’s cabin. Though the judge had warned the witnesses not to discuss their testimony, Liza had no trouble learning that they were there to verify Dan’s acquaintance with one of the dead girls.
