Serious Crimes (A Willows And Parker Mystery) - Plot & Excerpts
Through the plate glass she could see the harbour, the water dull as lead, a lone sailboat tacking into the wind. Down the hall, in her husband’s study, she heard the soft twittering of the goddamn fax machine. Tyler had three pushbutton telephones lined up in there on his desk; all of them red. He also had an IBM computer and a couple of printers, something called a modem. A Canon colour copier. Plus the Sony TV and video recorder he used to tape business-related programs from the Knowledge Network, but never had time to watch. Tyler’s study. His business machines. Well, maybe he fooled the income-tax people, but Nancy knew better. The machines were toys for adults who’d grown up too fast and couldn’t make the adjustment, that’s all. She hated the den. Tyler never remembered to shut the door and it seemed to her that something in there was always clicking or buzzing or clanging, making some kind of irritating noise. Nancy scrubbed at her hair with the towel, tossed the towel on the bed.
