Lies Still Told: An A.L. McKittridge Novel, #3 by Beverly Long

Author:Beverly Long
Format: epub

As long as he was in Wausau, A.L. thought he should drop in on Virginia and ask her about Platt’s relationship with Tawny Lane. He was also interested in digging deeper into Hank’s comments about there being extra cash around a lot of the time. A wife would have seen that.

He drove to her house and knocked on the door. No answer. He knocked again. Still on her front porch, he called her cell phone. It rang four times before kicking over to voice mail. He did not leave a message.

He was going to have to let this go for now. He needed to head back to Baywood. Tomorrow was Christmas Eve. And he still did not have a present for Tess. No cords. That had been Rena’s instructions.

Left it pretty wide open.

First Christmas together. No way to calibrate his decision-making. No way of knowing what her expectations might be.

He felt pretty confident that T-shirts and socks weren’t on her list.

Fifteen minutes from Madison, he made a decision. When the exit came up that would take him into Madison proper, he took it. Ten minutes later, he was parked in front of a store that had been on his first beat, about a hundred years ago. He’d passed the windows of the store literally thousands of times without giving it much thought. As a twenty-five-year-old kid, he’d had neither the money for nor the interest in the sparkle and glitter of what it was selling.

The store looked much the same as he remembered. Maybe a new awning. He gripped the store’s door handle and realized that his hands were sweating. Good thing Rena couldn’t see him now.

“May I help you, sir?” the middle-aged woman behind the counter asked.

“I hope so. I really hope so.”
