William Murdoch Mysteries Novels & Stories

The equally confused looking policeman looked mildly intimidated by William, who was already a head taller than most men. “No problem, sir. Is Miss Clandestine here?” He asked William. William sneered upon hearing her name. “She’s just left.” What could the police have to do with that woman again? Either way, it wasn’t his problem, she was nothing but trouble. Despite knowing that, it didn’t stop the sense of unease he felt upon seeing the policeman. Had something happened to her that he didn’t know of? “Ah, really?” The police officer hummed before nodding respectfully at William. “My apologies then.”

Meredith smiled. *-*-*-*-*-*-* A new, unfortunate case in Maine proved to be a timely distraction for Olivia’s thoughts about her eternal battles with the old witch. Reports of people being murdered in bizarre ways had reached the Agency and it was almost certain that supernatural was involved. Olivia was chosen to be on the case and on the following day, she was scheduled to meet William for the instructions. “How are you getting on?” William asked casually. “Well, let’s see… An evil witch has been haunting my dreams and now I often seem to be lost in thoughts and blanking out,” Olivia replied.

I stepped back quickly, slipping farther into the shadows just as the study door swung open. William strode out, his expression dark with anger, jaw clenched. He did not notice me standing in the dim light and passed without a word. The study door closed behind him with a quiet, deliberate click. For several seconds, I remained where I was, listening to the silence that followed. Then slowly, I turned toward the children’s rooms again. But my thoughts were no longer with them—they were on something far more troubling. Because William had discovered Lord Rathcliffe was having an affair. And Lord Rathcliffe—had not denied it.

He left the way he'd come, three soft raps against the outside of the door once the bolt had slid home behind him, a strange, private habit of his I was only now realizing was probably meant to reassure whoever he left behind that it was truly him gone and not someone else come to take his place. I sank down onto the edge of the bed, the adrenaline that had carried me through the corridor and the archive and Julian's warnings finally draining out of me all at once, leaving something hollow and shaking in its place. William didn't say anything right away. He crossed the room and sat beside me, close enough that his shoulder pressed against mine, and for a long moment neither of us tried to fi

William spoke in a dismissive manner as he walked ahead. William smiled like a loyal wolf… but loyalty, Liam knew, could rot from the inside. “Well you’re not wrong about that” Liam trailed off. The main puzzle in Liam’s mind comprised of five important questions: One: Who was the masked man? Two: What was his affiliation with William? Three: What did he mean by “When the time is right”? Four: Why was William hiding the whole interaction Five: Could William still be trusted? My current dilemma was if I should present this to the alpha and find a proper time to start investigating. But having worked together for so long, William already knew most if not all his tactics so it would be easy to

It was getting late and she had to be back with the others. She walked briskly to the gate of the property, her heart beating faster with the reality of her impending predicament settling in her mind. That, and the call she had received while eating out with Will and Michelle, that Roy was missing. Tonight, Makunde was coming for her. She knew this fact as sure as she knew her name. "Doctor Williams! Doctor Williams." Modupe turned to look behind her wondering who could know her in such a place. She was beyond confused to see Roy coming up from behind her and hurrying to meet her.

" I looked at the list, dumbfounded. I needed an MRI of my brain. What was wrong with my head? Anyway, I must check it out. Even if I died, I had to know why. The results came out quickly. I had a dense shadow near my pituitary gland. The doctor said it would take a consultation to get the final result. She told me to go back and wait for the result. She also wanted me to be prepared. Because I might have to be hospitalized at any time. I thanked the doctor and went back home alone. When I got home, William wasn't there. Those baby paintings he had previously posted in the living room were removed.

Murdoch was definitely growing on me. “You know where to go, Murdoch,” Leo added. “We'll be there in just a few minutes,” Murdoch informed us. The road wasn't busy, which was wonderful and the silence after the incessant beeping of the hospital was most welcome. Finally, for the first time in hours, we weren't surrounded by people. I could finally find out the questions burning inside of me about the blackmail. “Leo, what is the connection with the slush fund and the blackmail?” I asked after a moment. I knew I should let him rest, but I had been waiting to find out for hours now.

Mayor Perez cursed loudly and he responded, "You're not out with your official security if I should remind you. Hired henchmen who are now dead and a warehouse filled with banned narcotics. Calls and transaction records from your device which link you to multiple crimes. Do you still think your government can save you? Oh, you'll be dead by then and they'll be too busy trying to cover their heads from federal prosecutions instead of coming for me " " You bastard. You can't run away forever! " He roared in fury and Luca tapped his mouth," Yes, I can " He rolled the tape all over the man's body and was done in little time. He turned to see Lucia still struggling to wear her vest, " Let me help

"These case files... some of these go back years. You've been building toward this." "The Council has been building toward this," Mendoza corrected. "I'm just the local administrator. Though I'll admit, watching Detective Blackwood's career develop while knowing what she was destined for has been... interesting." "You've been manipulating my assignments," Casie realized, pieces clicking into place. "The cases that never quite made sense, the partners who never worked out until Rick..." "The O'Connor bloodline was always going to awaken eventually," Mendoza confirmed. "We just ensured you'd be in the right place when it happened."
