Points West (A Butterscotch Jones Mystery Book 5) - Plot & Excerpts
We’d have been in sooner but had stopped to talk to the Bones about Brian’s potential contagious state. The Bones wasn’t worried, but he was also pretty drunk, so I was only marginally reassured by our conversation and his belief that Brian’s corpse wasn’t a germ factory for a bioengineered plague. As I pulled off my snowshoes in the vestibule I heard the faint clatter of the kitchen and caught a whiff of searing meat. There was also the low hum of mostly male chatter. The Moose had more patrons than usual, but that is often the case when there is a death. Though loners we sometimes feel the need of others’ company. The first thing that met my bleary gaze was not Big John or the Flowers, but Chuck’s beaming father. I stopped abruptly and Chuck plowed into me. It took us a moment to regain our balance and by then Chuck had seen his father too. “Horace!” I said. “This is a surprise.” “Hi, kids,” Horace said, slipping off his barstool and coming to give me a hug and Chuck a pat on the back.
