Recipes For Love And Murder (2015) - Plot & Excerpts
There were flashes of lightning over the Langeberge as the police sirens got closer. ‘What’re we going to tell them?’ I asked Jessie. ‘We shouldn’t be here.’ ‘Jislaaik. There are two murders now. I think we should come clean.’ ‘Too late,’ I said, looking down at our messy clothes. ‘Where are those napkins?’ We were dusting the flour off our pants when the police arrived, their headlights shining straight on us. When they turned them off, I could see the men by the stoep light. Piet and Kannemeyer got out of the van, and a young man stepped from a car. The man was tall and thin. Next to Piet he looked very long, but he was not as tall as Kannemeyer. My feet wanted to run to Kannemeyer, which is strange because as I’ve said, I don’t believe in running, and anyway I was wearing socks. When the men got closer, Jessie looked like she wanted to run too, but we both stayed standing on the stoep. Piet was leading the way with a torch, pointing here and there to the ground.
