EIGHT

I POPPED INTO the office when I got back to tell Darlene what I’d learned.

Although I hadn’t actually learned anything, except that hotel management didn’t want me poking around the back of the hotel and asking questions. I’d also learned that Marilee feared for her job. Why, I didn’t know. Maybe the bosses were just strict there, and she’d get in trouble for chatting when she should be working.

“I don’t know what else I can do,” I said to Darlene. “If the police have closed the case, no one will thank us for interfering. No one has to answer our questions.”

Darlene stretched her shoulders. “You’re right about that, honey. We’ve got no reason to think we’re right and everyone else is wrong. Ralph was a nasty piece of work.”

“What about his family? Are they okay with the idea of suicide?”

“Ralph’s father ran off when he was a baby. His mama died soon after. His grandma raised him, and she’s long gone. No one left to care much about Ralph one way or the other. Maybe that’s why he was such a mean son of a bitch.”

“Sad.”

“Don’t feel sorry for Ralph Bosleigh, honey. His grandma was a good woman. He could have turned out okay. He chose not to.”

“Do you want me to drop it?”

“I honestly don’t know. That would be the smart thing to do. But I can’t shake the feeling I have. Right now, though, I have to get my work done.” She waved a hand at her computer, and I left her to it.

I was trying to find something interesting to watch on TV when my phone rang. Darlene.

“Aunt Antonia called me. She wants to talk about Rhonda’s death. Want to come with me?”

“Sure. Did she say what it was about?”

“Nope. I get off work at six. Be ready then.”
