Today’s excerpt has my sleuth, Hope, arriving at a garden tour/book signing event of a good friend with her sister tagging along. Claire is uninvited and due to recent events in town, she will not be greeted warmly by the hostess.

“Would you hurry up? I’m freezing,” Claire complained as she made her way around the vehicle.
Hope looked over her shoulder. “What do you think it’s going to be like during the garden tour? Audrey’s garden is three acres.” Even she had to muster enthusiasm for a late March garden tour.
Though the sun was brighter and the temperatures were steadily climbing, it just snowed two days earlier. And the morning hadn’t warmed much.

Happy Sunday!
