Wilma Tenderfoot And The Case Of The Frozen Hearts (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
Goodman liked it, but Mrs. Speckle knew better than to take it in until the color was just right. The detective’s peppermint tea needed to be the color of spring grass: any lighter and he would complain that it was too weak, any darker and there would be an afternoon of frowns that Mrs. Speckle could well do without. Mrs. Speckle, Detective Goodman’s housekeeper, was unable to bear the cold. Quite why this was, nobody knew, but even on the hottest summer days Mrs. Speckle would be wrapped in woolen sweaters and woolen trousers, with not just one but two woolen bobble hats (for good measure) on her head. From her heavy duffle coats to her underpants, everything that Mrs. Speckle wore was knitted. Even her Wellington boots. As she stood waiting for Theodore P. Goodman’s peppermint tea to turn the correct shade of green, she pulled her second bobble hat a little farther down her forehead. There was a sharp chill and she cast her eyes about to see where it might be coming from. Mrs. Speckle had a phenomenal talent for pinning down the source of drafts, and as she scanned the room she took in everything that might be the culprit.
