Grave New World: A Jane Ladling Mystery

Whoa. Jane jolted with realization. “You suspect Christopher of being the killer.” She trudged to her seat and plopped down. But that was preposterous. Wasn’t it?

“He certainly fits Lucy’s description of the killer.” Conrad stated the words flatly, then sighed. “But no. He would’ve had to be in two places at once, killing Hannah while buying groceries with three other firemen.”

Hmm. A thought occurred to Jane. She remembered what Christopher had said. How the call had come in, mentioning an unconscious woman, and it had frightened him because he’d believed it was his girlfriend Maggie. He’d gone running. “Did the anonymous caller, who is probably the killer, give a description of the unconscious woman?”

“They mentioned a dark-haired female, but no other details.”
