The Chocolate Jewel Case: A Chocoholic Mystery - Plot & Excerpts
I felt sorry for Garnet and Dick. They seemed to be nice people, and it was unpleasant to think that the robbery meant a serious financial loss to them, and possibly a family split over Alex’s actions. But learning more than I needed to know about the Gold/Garrett family finances wasn’t a large concern to me. My concern was getting out of there. I wanted to go home, where I wouldn’t have to keep up a brave face. It was beginning to be an effort to keep my upper lip stiff. Finally the cops said Joe and I could go. Which led to the most terrifying part of the whole evening—walking home in the dark. In our neighborhood, there are streetlights only at widely spaced intervals, and there are lots of trees in between. Some of the houses have outdoor lights, of course, but in summer the thick foliage keeps the ground dark, especially when there’s no moon. And there was no moon that night. We had brought along a nice big flashlight, knowing that we’d probably be walking home after sunset.
