“It was quite remarkable,” she told Philippe that evening at home as he poured their apéros. “Simone Garnier must be getting on. I’m guessing she is at least in her mideighties, but she has a luminescent beauty about her that some women that age have. It shines from within and wraps itself around you in her presence. She is an intriguing woman, and her paintings burst with color and passion. I want to get to know her better.”

“There you go again. Yet another adventure.”

Kat took a long sip of her pastis. “My life here is definitely not dull,” she said.

Philippe had been stunned to hear that someone lived on that property. And a little worried. “I wonder if she has ever noticed any activity in the cove by Dimitri’s gang,” he said. “I guess she wouldn’t pay attention to it anyway if she is housebound. The house is far enough away from the water, and I believe the view is blocked by trees.”

“Well, she doesn’t miss much. She has her sources, from what she said. If she had seen anything, she probably would have alerted the police about it.”

He shrugged. “They appear to be completely ignorant about anything going on down there, but now they are watching.”

“Do we need to be worried?”

Philippe shrugged again, in the typical Gallic manner, with his arms spread and his hands open. “They assure me they have their best undercover team on the case and we are not to be worried.”

“Then let’s not be,” Kat said, still surprised she was not feeling more anxious about it.

“Her land adjoins ours along the length of the property line, but it is quite thickly forested until a point down by the water. There is a dilapidated boathouse and a stone storage barn down there, but nothing else. Until you discovered your donkey friend, there was never any sign of life. You will have to show me the driveway entrance tomorrow. It’s such a surprise.”
