Only it turned out to be someone else I found my eye on next.

Later that night, after staring at the backs of my eyelids for a few hours as my mind raced through all of the case’s peculiar complexities, I decided to give up the ghost on a good night’s sleep and pick up my binoculars. It was already after midnight, and the lodge was pretty quiet, with lights on in only a few rooms. Carol’s room and Grant’s suite were both dark, and the grounds were perfectly still. And beautiful! With the day’s fresh snowfall and the holiday lights sparkling, it looked like a Christmas dream.

The peaceful scene had just about lulled me to sleep in my chair when movement off to the side of the lodge brought motion to the still life and shook me awake. A figure was making its way through the snow beyond the shoveled paths toward the shadows at the edge of the lodge.

I raised the binoculars to my eyes, adjusting the focus to bring the person into sharp relief. Whoever it was looked bundled up against the cold, with a scarf covering the lower half of their face, but the determined look in the person’s exposed eyes made it easy for me to identify her.

What was Chef K doing trudging through the snow at the witching hour?

She looked furtively over her shoulder, like someone might be following. Then she vanished behind the lodge, moonlight glinting off the knife in her gloved hand.
