Chapter 11

Edwin instantly reached over and soothed Lucinda with a bronzed hand to her arm. “Loose, take it easy, honey.”

Was he saying that to shut her up or because he was concerned she looked as though she might have a seizure?

But she yanked her arm away from him and shook her head with a furious motion. “I will not take it easy, Ed! I’m not going to lie for her—not when things are as serious as they are! Listen, Trixie, Suzanne’s not a good person, and I say that even though I truly love her. She’s never satisfied, and it’s never her fault. Agnar was good to her—really good to her. But you know Suzanne. There’s always a bigger pot of money to be had. The problem is, she was getting a little long in the tooth and her pool of prey is growing smaller by the minute.”

Okay, so here’s the thing—even her own friends don’t like her. I’m not so sure I should be tarred and feathered for feeling the same way. And I said as much with my eyes when I looked over at Higgs, who appeared as flabbergasted as me.

“Lucinda speaks the truth,” Grady Hanson confirmed, rolling his tongue along the inside of his cheek. “Suzanne’s needy and insensitive, and she can’t begin to fathom the world doesn’t revolve around her.”

Again, I looked to Higgs, who was likely thinking what I was thinking. Lucinda sounded very bitter, even though Grady backed her up. Maybe she was jealous of Suzanne’s beauty? Tired of living in her shadow? You know, the usual wallflower/prom queen BFF complex? I couldn’t figure out why she’d stayed with Suzanne so long if she didn’t like her.

“How long have you been friends with Suzanne?” I asked quietly.

Lucinda pursed her crimson lips. “I’ve been her stylist for what feels like a hundred years, and at least a hundred men have passed through her doors in that time. I love Suzanne. I really do. I swear I do. She’s opened doors for me that never would have opened without her. We’ve been friends since college, and I’ve followed her all over the world. But I know her almost better than I know myself. I’m calling it as I see it, and if the goal is to help find out who murdered a man as nice as Agnar, I’m going to tell you the truth, and the heck with Suzanne’s snowflake feelings. Agnar deserved better than her. Period.”

Higgs drew in a breath, his wide chest heaving. “So you knew they were having trouble in their marriage, Miss Ferris?”

Lucinda’s lips thinned in distaste as she looked down at her perfectly manicured hands. “I know what I saw, and I saw Suzanne treat him poorly all the time. She’d stay out till all hours of the night, ignore his phone calls and texts. She belittled him at every turn. Yet he pandered to her constantly. All she had to do was say jump and he would ask how high, when he was really the one who needed someone to be there for him.
