Literally Murder (A Black Cat Bookshop Mystery) - Plot & Excerpts
MILDRED EXCLAIMED, CLUTCHING DARLA’S arm, “I was hoping I’d be able to introduce you. This is our show committee chairwoman, Mrs. Alicia Timpson. She’s the one who arranged for your Hamlet to be our special guest. She even oversaw the design of his pen. Mrs. Timpson, this is Darla Pettistone.” Darla met the woman’s cool amber gaze and noted her jaw-length frosted hair and pale blue linen skirted suit, which had yet to wrinkle despite the humidity. Definitely the Martini Lady from the previous night. Now, however, she appeared stone-cold sober—and, unless she was one heck of a poker player, she appeared not to recognize Darla. Thank goodness! “Ah, yes, the bookstore owner,” Alicia replied with only the faintest of patronizing airs. “All of us on the local FSA board are thrilled that you and Hamlet were able to accept the invitation to our little event.” She put out impeccably polished but surprisingly beefy fingers for a languid handshake.
