The Heat Of The Moon: A Rachel Goddard Mystery (Rachel Goddard Mysteries) - Plot & Excerpts
A dry sour taste in my mouth. The smell of disinfectant and alcohol. A murmur of voices nearby. Blinding light that made me squeeze my eyes shut again after one quick blink. And pain. A deep throb that seemed to pulse toward me from a great distance, washing over me in waves. “Rachel?” a female voice said. I opened my eyes again, just a slit, and saw a sharp-featured young woman with black hair. She peered into my face. “You’re in the hospital, Rachel. You had surgery on your arm.” Mother. The full force of memory hit me. I cried out. “Just try to lie still,” the nurse said. “Just rest.” Mother’s dead. I opened my eyes wide, staring around at half a dozen empty beds, a big central desk with a young woman behind it, a silent television set that flashed images in a corner. “Would you like to see your fiancé?” the nurse said. “I can’t let him stay more than a minute, but he’s been waiting all this time and he wants to see you.” Fiancé? Bewildered, I didn’t answer.
