Shadow's Lady (A Pajaro Bay Cozy Mystery + Sweet Romance) - Plot & Excerpts
She was sitting in the mud. "In the mud" was putting it mildly. Every part of her was covered in mud. Her clothes were muddy. Her face was muddy. Even the spaces between her fingers were muddy. To add insult to injury, the rain had tapered off to a dull drizzle, just heavy enough to be annoying, but not heavy enough to wash away the muck. With the dawn the glow of the lighthouse beam was gone, and all that remained was the echoing, repetitive boom of the foghorn. Tears ran salty through the mud pack on her face. "Hey, kid, what ya crying for?" she scolded, ignoring the shakiness in her voice and the catch in her throat that made her sound high-pitched as a two-year-old. "It's nothing but dirt and sea kelp, blended with some nice fresh rainwater, and maybe a stray frog or two. People pay big bucks for European spa treatments, and you're getting this mud pack gratis." At this particular moment, she preferred not to think about what the ever-present sea gulls had contributed to the mix. She allowed herself one full minute to sit in the mud crying like a baby, then got to her feet.
