And when I saw the full ashtray on the table, or the plates with the leftovers from dinner - not from yesterday, that must have been a few days longer - then the malaise just got worse. My fingers itched to clean up here. Okay, then I was just crazy about order, but that was still better than living in a mess like that. But unfortunately this was not my domicile. Although, what did "unfortunately" mean here? Luckily! I turned my head left and right, gazing across the kitchen just to distract myself from those cattle in the corner. When I leaned over to examine the magazine on the table, I realized I was sitting on something. Reluctantly I pulled it out - who knew what that was - and was more

“No doubt.” “What about those two small FedEx boxes?” “Most recent novels from Samhain Horror.” “Awesome. Those books I bought at the Webb County Library sale last week?” “Sorted into general and mystery fiction. Struck the mother lode with all those Mary Higgins Clark novels.” “We cater to all tastes, miss. Unless you like Twilight, 50 Shades of Gray or James Patterson. Folks want drivel, they can drive to Utica.” “Hey. I actually liked Twilight. It wasn’t all bad.”

I leaned back in my well-worn executive office chair and stretched the kinks from my body. I’d finally solved the case that had plagued me for weeks. It was a call for celebration! Eleanor Waterford’s husband was a sly player. He’d managed to disguise his activities to the point that I simply couldn’t uncover the name of the female who he was keeping company with. I was just about to give up and confess to my boss that I’d failed when it struck me. What if the woman he was seeing wasn’t a woman at all?

We were doomed to be shamed and die. Underground Writer 101 had become a pain to all of our asses. It seemed like she had more interest in spying on Mafioso than she had in saving her life if she were to be discovered one day. The blog had even spread the rumours of Matteo being the one who had killed his wife. “Stop panicking, Bells.” My head snapped in Val’s direction as she put the lasagna tray in the oven, side-glancing at me. “Stop panicking? You're kidding me. How are you not panicking?”

I didn’t hesitate. I pulled Fifty Shades of Grey first (cliché, yes, but I needed an entry point), then The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty by Anne Rice, Story of O, a slim volume called The New Topping Book just to balance it out, and two anthologies with titles like Bound Hearts and Surrender to Me. The stack felt heavy in my arms, like contraband. I carried them to the my corner and hid them under the table. I sat down, and opened the first book.

It all started in the summer of 2018, with the mysterious disappearance of the two wealthiest men in Seattle. As written by Seattle Daily, “An unidentified body was found in the apartment of the richest most eligible bachelors in Seattle, The Hudson brothers who at this point are presumed the main suspects in this investigation whose whereabouts are currently unknown..”

He thought that was what made it fun, not knowing what you were going to read for the day, and he reveled in that surprise. Some days he could be reading an action novel and another day he could be reading a cookbook. As Dmitri looked at the cover of his book, he smiled. It was a mystery thriller novel. He was excited to read it because it had been a while since he had last read a novel like this one. Just as Dmitri was getting cozy, he heard the bell above the entrance door jingle. He didn't think anything of it. It wasn't like he was the only one who knew this place.

The moment the suite door unlocked, Ava rushed into the hallway coughing dramatically. “I am officially retiring from mystery solving. Rich people can die without me from now on.” Despite everything, Winona laughed. The sound surprised even her. Maybe because laughing felt strange after seeing a dead body hidden inside a wardrobe. Liam walked beside them quietly while still deep in thought. “Daniel definitely knew something before he died. That note wasn’t random.” “Nothing in this hotel is random,” Adrian said.

She licked her lips. "Hmm, who does not know the Alpha of this pack." She said and I looked at her with scrutiny. Really? Who does not? She is fishy. * * This book is weird 😂... I don't even understand what is going on with Connor and Alyssa.

Toby asked with an etched eyebrow, watching Yara pull out a big sized novel from the shelf and Barnes smile proudly. "Thatweird_author." she replied, holding the novel up to his eye level.
