Chapter Twenty-One

I’d never taken a second to ask Bridget about Tom, and now I wished I had. All of this would have come out, and I wouldn’t have tripped over Huckabee’s fake carrot. I sat in my car, outside of the Kings’ home, processing what I’d just learned.

Tom was a man under many pressures, just like his wife. Whether they realized it or not, they were both battling this multi-tentacled beast that was their life. Together and apart. And I was no closer to understanding why they even had Carrie on their suspect radar. It was driving me mad.

The rattail comb had been hers.

Doesn’t mean she killed Liza. But she could have.

Carrie said she’d left the salon to go home, to prepare for her date night with Tom, who didn’t show until hours later. She had no alibi after leaving the salon.

Again, doesn’t mean she killed Liza. But she could have.

So far, it was all so circumstantial, and I just had to believe that Carrie would be cleared of any wrongdoing.

My next thought hit me square in the face.

Had Carrie ever thought her husband and Liza were having an affair—even for one minute? And had that one minute been when she’d plunged a rattail comb into her friend’s eyeball, killing her?

Had the detectives asked Carrie about this?

I didn’t know, thanks to the police chief’s irritating non-answers, spins, and overall unwillingness to play nice and share.

I sure wasn’t going to ask for his input again.

I’d do it myself.

“Sloane, Sloane!” Maddie’s voice broke through my theorizing. I fumbled for the phone, whipped it out of my pocket, and said, “We’re good. We’re good.”

“I’m glad you’re okay. Now get back here pronto. I got stuff to share.”

“Will do. I need to make one more phone call, then I’m headed in your direction. See you in thirty minutes.”
