Silenced By The Yams (A Barbara Marr Murder Mystery #3) - Plot & Excerpts
They found arsenic, strychnine, and cyanide in his vomit. Unfortunately, they found the same three ingredients in the yams left on the plate that Frankie had prepared himself. Witnesses in the kitchen confirmed that Frankie had been the only person warming the yams and one witness was willing to testify that he saw Frankie add something from a small bottle prior to re-heating the dish in a small saucepan. “Where’s that bottle now?” I asked Colt. “No one knows.” He sipped from my wine glass. “The funny thing is, foul play was never considered originally. The hospital medical examiner reported ‘natural causes,’ but Kurt’s brother demanded an investigation.” He made a sour face and stood up. “Wine is for sissies. I need a beer.” I cringed, remembering the horrible night. “Natural causes? What, did he puke to death?” He twisted the bottle top off a long-neck Dos Equis. “And Bingo was his name-o.” That made no sense to me—Kurt hadn’t appeared to be choking on the vomit.
