CHAPTER 13

That evening Della decided to eat a light dinner. She wasn’t feeling particularly hungry, so she pulled some bacon out of the refrigerator and started frying a couple of slices. She also took out the lettuce and a tomato. While the bacon was frying, she rinsed the veggies before slicing the tomato as thin as she could. She put two slices of bread in the toaster right before she had to flip the bacon.

Her mind drifted back to Ted Macklin and his death, and then on to his wife. Clearly, Evelyn Macklin wasn’t a jealous woman, but could something else have driven her to want her husband dead? The spouse is usually the first person the police look at, so was she one of those people of interest that Sheriff Metcalf mentioned? At least one would think she would be.

When the bacon was finished, she put it on a paper towel before starting to assemble her sandwich, still thinking about the murder. As far as she could tell, the killer must be a woman. Della was fairly certain by the way the person escaping Ms. Reginald’s house earlier that day had moved that it had been a woman.

There was a chance that it had been a young man, but something about the way the person had moved felt familiar to Della, but she couldn’t come up with why.

Her sandwich made, she reached for the potato salad in the refrigerator and put some on her plate. Meanwhile, she considered what she knew. Ted Macklin wasn’t a very well-liked man. It was possible that someone had followed him to Clover in order to kill him in a different town, but then she wondered if the killer was a resident of Clover.

And if so, what if it was someone she talked to every day? Okay, maybe not every day, but that wasn’t the point. It was possible someone she’d met was a killer. It couldn’t just be a coincidence that he was killed in Clover.

That made a chill go through Della that she wasn’t prepared for. Could that really be true? The more she thought about it, the more she didn’t want to stop looking into what had happened. She’d already made a big difference in the investigation, right? What if her involvement helped catch whoever was responsible, faster?

She still wondered if she could come up with a good excuse to speak with Evelyn Macklin. Part of her wanted to cross his wife off her list of potential suspects, but there were still too many unknowns about her to allow that.

As she carried her plate over to the kitchen table, she decided to do a little searching online to see what she could learn about Evelyn Macklin. A quick search brought up her social media and a video of Evelyn speaking to someone in a backyard. The woman didn’t look much older than Della, but when she stood up, she was using a cane. Maybe she had problems from an old injury?
