Abigail spilled everything about their trip to Orchard, seeing Brown, Norma’s death, the hate letter and finding the missing pages, and some of what Claudia had confided about the old sheriff and Edna. “Our readers have been begging for more of this hometown whodunit,” Samantha confessed. “I have photos that came in last week of Emily and the kids I can use to fill another page. “And I’ll be careful how I write it. Without proof using names of living people as possible suspects is unethical.” And unsafe, Abigail thought. “It’s great we have this hand written stuff, these diary pages, from Jenny herself; the letter from Norma, though I can’t use any of it because it’s unsubstantiated. And, that along with what Brown recollected about a stalker. Wonderful! This mystery has been better than a Sherlock Holmes serial. That Emily’s mysterious lover, whoever he was, out of jealous rage, may have strangled her to death in a fit of passion because she was leaving him. Classic.
