Murder In The English Department (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
Amy was not due for three hours; Matt and Shirley had promised tomorrow morning. Nervously Nan walked into the visitors’ room. She looked around and saw Lisa, or rather, the back of Lisa’s curly head. (The hair. Blonde hair in the dark night. Lisa’s fair hair would have turned gold in the evening light.) What was happening to her? Hallucinating, rambling. Lisa was not Marjorie. Marjorie was in Maryland and Lisa was here. But what was she doing here? Lisa seemed to be surveying sadness in the waiting room. The podgy, white-haired woman who visited her daughter every day; the two black men who visited one of the prisoners in the cell next to Nan’s. She was glad Lisa hadn’t been watching the door, hadn’t seen her aunt ushered into the room by this cold sergeant. Nan tried to materialize her old self from the greyness around her. Lisa turned and waved. ‘Lisa, my sweet,’ said Nan, for all the world like an Edwardian matron serving tea.
