The Sans Pareil Mystery (The Detective Lavender Mysteries Book 2) - Plot & Excerpts
Isolated buildings and disconnected settlements scattered the flat landscape. A raw wind whipped over the reed pools and dykes. Apart from a few lonely cattle on the horizon, there was no sign of life. Lavender cursed silently when he noticed that there was no church in the village either. There was only a small street of houses and the windmill, whose wooden sails creaked and groaned as they responded slavishly to the furious and bitter gusts of wind. It had been a miserable ride out to this god-forsaken village. His outer clothes were soaked and despite the exertion of the ride, he shivered with cold. The damp threatened to seep into his bones. Yet even such physical discomfort couldn’t distract from the heavy, leaden pain in his chest. He wondered what Magdalena was doing at that moment and then cursed his torturous mind. The pain of her rejection burned deeper within him than the windburn on his frozen face. Sackville might consider this trip to be a fool’s errand, but at least he was doing something and burning off the restlessness that now possessed him.
