Crabapple Court --- an excerpt

An excerpt



"Heather is home alone when the doorbell rings.  Peering through the living room window she can see a tall man in a grey suit standing near the front door.  Though not in uniform there is something about him that makes her think he looks like a cop.  Ernie and the boys are out with the search party. She wishes she wasn't home alone.  He looks like a cop, she thinks, but what if he isn't?  What if he is a reporter?  Worse than that, what if he is the kidnapper?  She doesn't know whether to answer the door or not.

The doorbell rings again.

Hoping she is making the right decision she opens the door and looks up into the face of a man she does not recognize.  She doesn't recognize the badge he holds in his hand either but it looks official and it does look authentic.  "Yes?" is all she says.

"Mrs. Martin?"

"I'm Doctor Martin."

"My apology Doctor Martin.  I am RCMP Inspector Raymond Fletcher.  I have just a few questions.  May I come in?"

About Crabapple Court  Susie Donnelly is missing.  Has she run away or is she just a little girl playing hide and seek?  Is it a kidnapping?  A murder?

Without exception the residents of Crabapple Court do not like to draw attention to themselves or to their homes.  They do not like publicity.  They do not appreciate media attention but this day, whether they like it or not, the Fairmont residents are keeping them under strict scrutiny.  Indeed, the eyes of the entire country are fixed upon them.

Crabapple Court is available exclusively on Amazon in both Paperback and Kindle formats.


Thank you for your positive review on Amazon and on Goodreads.

Watch for the release of my latest book The Observer spring of 2020.
