The Prettiest Girl I Ever Killed (1993) - Plot & Excerpts
I didn’t see Curt at all, but Gaby came in a couple of times looking pale and Camille-like—particularly alongside ruddy, jovial Carrie Robinson. She’d shake her head when I asked if there was anything new. There was something new, but not in the quest for Gil Sisk. One night a rock smashed the window of Stubb’s tavern; attached to it was a printed note saying: THIS IS FOR SANDY BENNETT. Nobody could figure it out except that somebody blamed Stubb because she’d drunk beer there the night she burned. Stubb closed up for a week and went to Excelsior Springs, which contributed to the town’s somber aspect. Two mornings later, Bill Struble found a dead dog with its throat cut hanging from the railroad-crossing signal. It was a brindle watchdog—of mongrel breed but mostly boxer—belonging to Fern Blake, the widow of Jerry Blake, who’d been killed when the butane tank blew up in the hardware store. Fern demanded protection, and Sheriff Wade named a special deputy to patrol the area at night.
