The Organist Wore Pumps (The Liturgical Mysteries) - Plot & Excerpts
“Sorry it took so long,” said Gwen, trying to catch her breath. “I couldn’t get the dead-bolt open.” “What on earth happened?” asked Nancy, quickly appraising the scene. “My God! The wreath fell on him?”Dave was speechless. “It fell on him, all right,” I said, “but he’s been shot.”I rolled the deacon over, lifted his purple stole, and revealed a spreading crimson stain in the center of his chest. “I’ll fill you in, but first you and Dave go on into the fellowship hall, take everyone’s name and phone number, and get their statements. If there’s someone you don’t know, bring him back in here, but I’m pretty sure everyone’s local. Then send ’em home. We’ll call them tomorrow. I’ll be in to help as soon as I secure this mess.” “Will do,” said Nancy. “Did you see it happen?” “Yeah. Hurry up now. I’ll be in shortly.” •••The EMTs arrived, but, as Karen had indicated, there was nothing they could do. I ordered them to leave everything as it was, go watch the Living Nativity, get a cup of coffee, and come back in an hour or so.
