EVERETT

“Lemon,” I thunder as I make my way through a tangle of onlookers who have gathered to witness a whole new tragedy unfolding in Honey Hollow.

News broke as I was leaving the bench for the day, so I grabbed my briefcase and sped all the way here.

My secretary, the one who broke the news to me to begin with, only gave a few minor details—another murder in Honey Hollow, a fatal shooting that involved an up-and-coming writer.

I won’t lie. I breathed a sigh of relief when I heard that last part.

Lemon is a baker.

Evie is a high school student.

Neither one of them qualified as the deceased.

Miranda flitted through my mind, but both she and Carlotta are well-established authors at this point. But I was certain that writing group Miranda belongs to was at the nexus of this. And someone in that group knew something.

It only makes sense.

One club member was killed a little over a week ago, and that more than likely means the killer was determined to keep this latest victim quiet, forever.

Night has settled over Honey Hollow, but that doesn’t slow down the crowd as they do their best to rubberneck.

In fact, that crowd is exactly why I didn’t need directions to the scene of the crime. I simply followed the flow of traffic and ended up at ground zero.

I spot Noah and Lemon, both looking to their left.

“Lemon,” I say as I come upon them and pull my wife into a tight embrace. “Are you all right?”

“I’m fine, I promise,” she says, taking a moment to warm my back with her hands.

“Everett.” Noah nods my way before looking back at Lemon. “Don’t you dare touch that duffle bag without me. If you’ll both excuse me. I’ve got a suspect to question.” He takes off, and we watch as he approaches a redhead who wears a scowl.

“Crane Mitchel?” I ask, not that I’m all that surprised.

Miranda’s writing club is down two members, and it only had five to begin with.

“That’s her.” Lemon’s voice shakes with anger. “Everett, that woman lied to me when I asked if she carried a concealed weapon. Noah says forensics just proved the bullet that killed Bella Hall was fired from a gun just like the one she owns. He suspects this latest victim died by the same gun—and the same killer. That could be her.”

She shivers in my arms as she looks at the woman.

“It sounds as if Noah has this handled,” I say, unconvinced that she’ll believe me. “What’s this about a duffle bag?”

Her mouth opens and closes as if she dreaded whatever it is she’s about to confess.

“I may have taken a duffle bag out of the deceased’s car before anyone arrived. Noah was here. He saw the whole thing.”

A hard groan comes from me. “In that case, I’ll have to side with Noah. He’ll need to handle it. That bag could be overflowing with evidence.”

She nods. “That’s exactly what I’m thinking, too.” She quickly fills me in on the fact
